On March 12, 2020, the opening night of Josh Ritter's Book of Gold Thrown Open tour, presented by Caffè Lena at Bethesda Episcopal Church in Saratoga Springs NY, was cancelled due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus. The tour, which was intended to allow Josh to explore his most intimate narrative songs in historic spaces around the country, never happened. This Late Night Session video stands as a tribute to each special gathering along that route that never happened, and a gift to everyone who had planned to be a part of this tour. Caffè Lena is proud to present Josh Ritter's new song "Our Father's War", and to stand behind its powerful and important message.
Filmed in stunning 4k footage by our production partners at Electric City Pictures (www.electricci...) and Diamond Grade Media (diamondgrademed..., the Caffè Lena Late Night Sessions show a new side of America's oldest continuously operating coffeehouse. These live recordings are done after the audience has gone home, when candles are lit and some of the old magic is drawn out of Lena's historic listening room.

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.
