SARATOGA SPRINGS — Students, family, and friends of the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs recently shared their best songs with a standing-room-only audience at an open mic night at Caffe Lena. From barbershop standards to Beatles tunes, original songs to sing-alongs, a diverse array of styles and instruments were represented.
The event was one of two recent examples of the Waldorf School’s continued partnership with Lena. The cafe’s On The Road program, which brings musicians into schools, recently stopped at Waldorf for a live folk performance by musician Chys Matthews. Matthews, a recipient of the International Folk Music Award, played original songs that blend elements of country, blues, and bluegrass.
