Celebrating Lena's Life

Lena has been gone for twenty years, but her life's work continues to bring us joy each and every time we climb the stairs of her Caff.
Tonight, on the 20th anniversary of her passing, we celebrate the dedication, vision, skill, wit, idiosyncrasy, sense of fun, courage and compassion that set the stage for the unprecedented success of her venue.
What better way to thank Lena for all she has given us than to help pay off some bills and reload the coffers before heading into winter? Your support will be richly rewarded with a delightful night of food, fun, and entertainment featuring some of Lena's personal favorites.

Hosting the evening will be that effervescent duo Addie & Olin--Unleashed! giving us everything cool from hipster jazz to Klezmer.

Joining them will be:

Singer-songwriter Camille West, whose "comedic wit is right up there with the biggies of mirth."

Terri Huxtable & Liz Hood, of the famed Huxtable, Christensen & Hood, who sing in exquisite harmony on centuries-old ballads to Tin Pan Alley tunes.

Top-flight fiddler Frank Orsini & stellar guitarist-clarinetist Peter Davis, on beautiful traditional instrumental airs to jumpin Western Swing.

Superb singer Linda Schrade & elegant banjo player David Kiphuth, on hauntingly beautiful folk songs.

Wonderfully strong and powerful a cappella singer and mesmerizing storyteller Greg Clarke who spans British Isles music & English Music Hall songs.

And George Ward, on endearing traditional songs backed by expert English concertina and guitar.
