SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Tuesday, May 17, Rochmon Record Club will converge live at Caffe’ Lena, to listen to, and learn about, Cat Stevens’ 1970 masterpiece, “Tea For The Tillerman.” 

Stevens was born in 1948 as Steven Demetre Georgiou and since 1978 has been known as Yusuf Islam.   In 1970, “Tea For The Tillerman” marked the singer-songwriter’s second album in less than a year (‘Mona Bone Jakon’ featuring the haunting “Lady D’Arbanville” was the first) and features some of his best-known songs - “Where Do The Children Play,” “Wild World” and “Father and Son” among them. 

A Rochmon Record Club Listening Party is meant to inform and deepen our understanding of the history of the individual performers, songs and the stories that went into the making of this classic album. 

The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. on May 17 at Caffe Lena, and the show begins at 7 with a live audio & video presentation by Chuck Vosganian aka “Rochmon.” The show is in-person as well as being streamed live on Caffe’ Lena TV. For more information, go to: caffelena.org.
