Best bet: This Sunday, Fultonville favorite son Sawyer Fredericks will be “Busking for Lena” (virtually). The Sarah B. Foulke Charitable Fund will match up to $50,000 in donations through the end of October, all of which goes to help keep Caffe Lena running in these difficult times. By all accounts, it’s going to be a long winter – we need these livestreams to keep sane, and musicians desperately need places to play.
If you only know of Sawyer from The Voice (he won Season 8 in 2015), you are missing out on seeing him perform in a quiet, intimate setting. In my opinion, this is where his music really connects the most. Tune in, donate a few dollars, and enjoy. #SAVEOURSTAGES
