Mother's Day with Christine Lavin and opener Sean Altman
Caffe Lena Saratoga Springs, NY
Share this event:
A perfect choice for Mother's Day--a woman who writes and sings beautifully crafted songs that tell funny, poignant storiesabout "Sensitive New Age Guys," about "Attractive Stupid People"and when you think about them afterwards, you realize that underneath the cleverness there's a questioning intelligence that grapples with the big questions. The New York Times has called her a "comic observer of contemporary manners" and she delivers, with giddy stories, righteous rants, and witty originalsnot to mention the occasional perfectly pitched cover, like Petula Clark's "Downtown." In addition to her books, radio shows, 20 albums, and numerous national awards, Christine also hosts knitting circles before her concerts, so feel welcome to bring along your current project.
Opener Sean Altman may be more recognizable to Caffe Lena audiences for his holiday season appearances as Jewmongous. This golden-voiced, 6'3" former Rockapella star is "Wildly funny... Part of a new breed of Jewish hipster comedy that includes Jon Stewart, Sacha Baron Cohen, Sarah Silverman and Heeb Magazine." - PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
