Tas Cru
Caffe Lena
Saratoga Springs, NY
Albany's own Tas Cru takes the Caff Lena stage for a night of original Mississippi Delta-style blues played on resonator guitar. His knack for the double entendre adds dark sparkle to every song, spanning the spectrum from stark tragedy to delighted hilarity.
No stranger to the Delta itself, Tas travels south regularly to play the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MI, has represented the Northeast Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, and has performed alongside the likes of Mem Shannon and Tab Benoit in benefits for Katrina victims.
He's also well-known to area school children as the guy who shows up in class and teaches them how to make their own tiny resonator guitars out of Altoids boxes, all the while introducing them to the beauty and soul of that most American of musical traditions, the Delta blues.
Note: Caffe Lena is an all-ages listening room that does not serve alcohol. Desserts, light vegetarian fare, and organic fair-trade coffee are offered at all shows. //
