The Beatle Caffè

It was 61 years ago . . .

We all remember that Moment when we witnessed The Beatles conquer America on the Ed Sullivan Show. Over the years, Caffe Lena has kept that energy alive by presenting many shows celebrating the music of The Beatles hosted by Olin & Addie. Skidmore College kept that energy going for 20 more years with the tremendously successful Beatlemore Skidmania. Last year we presented our first Beatle Caffè which was extremely well received. Now, 61 years later, Caffe Lena proudly presents the 2025 Beatle Caffè.

Curated and hosted by Dave Maswick and Joel Brown, the 2025 Beatle Caffè will feature several of the Capital District's most acclaimed acts, including Kevin McKrell, American Celtic artist who merges the Irish sensibility of Donnybrook with a steely, world class bluegrass edge, the rock band Super 400 and their blend of classic 60s-70s heavy rock, contemporary pop, and electric blues sound, veteran duo Maswick and Brown with their well-crafted harmony singing over warm acoustic arrangements and intricate fingerpicked guitar work, Skidmore standouts (and former Caffè Lena interns!) Question of the Century with their rich folk & indie folk harmonies and acoustic guitar arrangements and, “literary punk funk folk” musician Buggy Jive, who describes himself as "equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility."

A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
