'Ted Lasso with a guitar' at Caffè Lena
Finish the year off Dec. 27 with Stephen Kellogg and his ‘family reunion vibe’
One of Caffè Lena Executive Director Sarah Craig’s top picks for shows this season will go down during that dreamy “off” week between Christmas and New Year’s. So why not buy a ticket now and wander on over there Saturday (Dec. 27)? He’s been described as “Ted Lasso with a guitar,” so you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a good time with Stephen Kellogg — who is even doing two back-to-back performances so both the early birds (5-7 p.m.) and later-night folks (8-10 p.m.) can enjoy his “night of songs, stories and soul-stirring connection.
“He’s a comedian; he’s a songwriter; he’s a dad — his teenage daughters will be on stage singing, too,” Craig says. “It creates a family reunion vibe that means that everybody who comes through the door is made to feel like they’re part of the family.”
Expect stories (both funny and heartwarming, with a Midwestern flair) and songs. “This is definitely one of those classic ‘we laughed, we cried’ shows,” Craig says. “It does sell out, because it’s exactly the kind of room where fans want to see an artist like Stephen Kellogg. It’s very fun.”
Grab your ticket while you still can at (5 p.m.) caffelena.org or (8 p.m.) caffelena.org.
