Friction Farm, Acoustic Modern Folk Duo, Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay, will perform at the venerable Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs NY at 7:00 PM EDT. The show will be live-streamed directly from Caffe Lena.

Friction Farm has been Kerrville NewFolk finalists, Winners of the South Florida Folk Festival Songwriting contest, Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists, and just released a new album "Evidence of Hope" that debuted at #10 on the US Folk DJ Radio chart.

About the venue: Caffè Lena presents extraordinary music in an intimate setting steeped in history. It is widely recognized as the longest continuously operating folk music venue in the United States. The Library of Congress calls Caffè Lena “An American treasure,” and we have been recognized by The GRAMMY Foundation for our important contributions to the development of American music. Yet we are proud to stay true to Lena’s founding vision of simplicity, kindness to strangers, and art above profit.

The Caffè Lena you see today operates as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. In 2016 we began a $2 million renovation of our 19th century building in Saratoga’s historic downtown. The transformation, completed in 2017, guarantees a home for Lena’s celebrated programming for decades to come, creates 100% handicap-accessibility to our second floor performance space, and brings the listener and artist experience in line with the club’s international reputation.

Opened in a former woodworking shop in 1960, the café has helped to launch many of America’s best loved songwriters, ranging from Bob Dylan in 1961 to Sawyer Fredericks in 2014, with an amazing “who’s who” list in between.
