Today’s Top Tips for Live Music (January 22, 2022)

Best bet: “Crossing the Water” (A tribute to Bill Staines) @ Caffe Lena, Saratoga Springs.

New Hampshire folksinger Bill Staines played twice a year at Caffe Lena from 1968 until 2021. Sadly, he passed away on December 5, 2021. Tonight, regional musicians are gathering to sing Bill’s songs, read passages from his book, and watch clips from his final Caffe Lena concert. (8:00)
