As Caffe Lena has welcomed audience members back for in-person concerts again, executive director Sarah Craig has heard some encouraging stories from people who have missed the experience.
“I had an amazing number of people say that other than going to the grocery store, this was the first thing that they had gone out and done since the start of the pandemic. For them to choose an event at Caffe Lena, for them to choose music, was very touching to me. [It’s] an act of trust and an indication of just how much live music really means to people,” Craig said.

While hunkered down at the start of the pandemic, Johnstown musician Bill Ackerbauer started writing silly tunes with his son Finnegan.
Together they wrote “Chicken Milk” a funny folk tune that eventually ended up on “Chicken Milk & Other Mysteries,” an album filled to the brim with lighthearted kids’ songs.
“It’s something I always wanted to do because I have always enjoyed playing music for kids, especially little ones,” Ackerbauer said.
For more than 15 years, the former Gazette copy editor has performed around the Capital Region, sometimes solo and often with The Insolent Willies, with which he released “Mostly Harmless Acoustic Mayhem” last year. The two albums were released around the same time and share a similar upbeat nature, with folk songs meant to make listeners move.
