SARATOGA SPRINGS — Renowned singer-songwriter Johnny Irion will lead gathering on Wednesday, April 13 to celebrate the heritage and continued legacy of Caffe Lena.
Irion, who has shared the Caffe Lena stage throughout the years alongside Sarah Lee Guthrie, will on this special night share his songs and stories as he is joined by the three-part harmony trio, “The Hold On Honeys.” His new single and accompanying video will be released April 1.
Since the 1950s, coffeehouses in America have been a cornerstone for the creative counterculture. From emerging artists to renowned icons, they provide a space for artists, poets, and musicians to share ideas and hone their craft. Caffe Lena has teamed up with Blackwing to honor the spirit of the coffeehouse and the creativity they cultivate. All proceeds of the night will benefit Caffe Lena in continuing the legacy that Lena started over 60 years ago.
Show time is 7 p.m. on April 13 at Caffe Lena. The show may also be streamed live. For more information about attending the event, or watching a live stream of the show, go to: caffelena.org.
