Lena Go Round – Songwriter Showcase With Erin Harkes

Musician/comedian Erin Harkes continues her songwriters’ series at Caffè Lena in October. This monthly showcase, curated and hosted by Harkes, spotlights rising talent, who take turns playing their songs and telling stories “in the round,” for an audience and for each other. Lena Go Round is inspired by the original music that has been the cornerstone of Caffè Lena’s 63 years in operation, and is quickly becoming a must-see event in the Capital District.

The line up for October’s Lena Go Round is announced and boy is it as exciting as ever!

First off, the last time we saw her at Lena Go Round, Girl Blue was pregnant with her daughter and sang the most beautiful song about it. Not a dry eye in the house! We’re so excited to have her back as a new mom with her beautiful voice and stunning lyrics. She’s been featured on top Spotify playlists (New Music Friday) and charts (#2 on US Viral Charts), in national commercials, and on top blogs like the Huffington Post. She has received 7 Thomas Edison Music Awards, twice receiving Songwriter of the Year and Solo Act of the Year.

Next, we have Ed Schwarzschild! Ed is the singer/songwriter behind the band Doctor Baker. He’s also an award-winning fiction writer and he works as Professor of English and Director of Creative Writing at the University at Albany, SUNY.

Last but certainly not least, we have an artist that is as new as they come. Erin discovered this young lady at her kid’s open mic a few months ago and has been such a huge fan since. When you hear the songs she’s written you’re not going to believe she’s 9. You’re going to love Lulu Grey as much as Erin does!
