$5 at the door
Saratoga Springs teen singer/songwriter Mary Leigh Roohan takes the stage with a degree of charm, confidence and talent that marks her as a natural for a future career in music. She has a lovely, simple voice well-suited to her spare folk guitar arrangements and a knack for writing engaging ballads. Her debut performance at the Caffe last spring was glowingly discussed for weeks afterwards.
Friday, Jul. 16 • 8 PM
Red Lions
$15 advance / $17 door

Featuring the original songwriting and vocals of Ithaca artist Eric Margan, the Red Lions offer exquisite, sophisticated orchestral pop music. Accompanied by guitar, keyboards, reeds, bass, and drums, Margan’s arrangements are way above average.
His songs are "brilliantly informed by Impressionism, classic rock, and chamber and adagio musics with a dash of smoky nightclub jazz. Expect Stravinsky to spice the slow sonics, Gershwin to walk side by side with rapture, Ravel to pull in fog and rain, and Weill to spike the decadence factor throughout a conceptually based song cycle revolving around love, loss, anomie, and desperation." —Mark S. Tucker, Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange
