Background

Hailing from South Carolina, Jack Williams is the sound of the American south. Acclaimed as “one of the strongest guitar players in contemporary folk,” his flawless fretboard work, southern-flavored songwriting, and graceful entertaining have carried him through 50+ years, 10 CDs, and countless live performances.

Join us as we delve into the Caffe Lena archive and bring this amazing show with Jack Williams back to life. Jack will be hanging out in the chat room with us and you will have the opportunity to support this talented musician and Caffe Lena through our virtual tip jar.

The Caffe Lena Stay Home Sessions are performances recorded in the listening room, broadcast live for the community to enjoy during this uncertain time of physical isolation. Please prioritize your health and well-being, and use these nightly live streams as a respite from the stress of our current situation.

Caffè Lena offers extraordinary music in an intimate venue steeped in history. It has been in continuous operation longer than any other folk club in the USA. First opened in 1960 in Saratoga Springs NY, the Caffè’s early years were entwined with the social movements of that era. Emerging artists such as Bob Dylan, The Freedom Singers, Arlo Guthrie, Emmylou Harris and Don McLean took their turn on the stage, alongside esteemed veterans such as Clarence Ashley, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James and Pete Seeger.

The venue has been called “An American Treasure” by the Library of Congress, and has received recognition from the GRAMMY Foundation for its contribution to American music.
