Lena Go Round-Songwriters Showcase hosted by Erin Harkes

For 65 years, Caffè Lena has been a place where great artists get their start—a stage where music is more than just sound; it’s stories, community, and discovery. The Lena Go Round continues that tradition, offering a monthly showcase of rising songwriting talent, curated and hosted by powerhouse musician, comedian, entrepreneur, and all around powerhouse, Erin Harkes.

What makes Lena Go Round special?

• It is a curated lineup of the best up-and-coming songwriters—handpicked to deliver unforgettable performances
• It is a true “in the round” experience—where songwriters take turns sharing their music and stories, creating an intimate and inspiring atmosphere
• It is a direct link to Caffè Lena’s legacy—this stage launched careers, and Lena Go Round continues to nurture the next generation of folk, Americana, and indie artists

The lineup changes every month, but one thing is constant: you will always hear something fresh, moving, and unforgettable. Whether you're a lifelong folk fan or just love discovering the next big thing, Lena Go Round is the place to be.

March's line up is Pete Pashoukos, Marc Woodworth, Angelina Valente, and Erin, of course!

Come be part of a Capital District must-see event, where the best of the best take the stage before the world catches on.
