Caffe Lena

JUNO-nominated Abigail Lapell brings luminous, intimate folk to Caffè Lena—poetic songs shaped by haunting acoustics.

“Abigail writes songs that stop you right in your tracks.”— Brooklyn VeganAward-winning Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell brings her spellbinding new music to Caffè Lena — a voice both timeless and unmistakably her own.Lapell returns with More Songs About Love, the extended companion to her JUNO-nominated album Anniversary. Produced with Tony Dekker of Great Lake Swimmers and recorded inside a 200-year-old church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the album carries a haunting resonance — every note shaped by natural acoustics that feel almost otherworldly. The result is a collection of love songs that shimmer with intimacy, balancing luminous ballads, intricate fingerstyle guitar, and raw poetic storytelling.A three-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner with more than 60 million streams, Lapell has steadily earned recognition as a thoughtful and distinctive voice in contemporary folk. Her songs explore longing, devotion, memory, and the passage of time with breathtaking honesty — transforming familiar themes into something mysterious, cinematic, and deeply felt.Critics have called her work “understated yet seductive” (No Depression) and “the new generation’s heart-rending answer to Tapestry’s call” (Exclaim!). Whether performing at SXSW, Americanafest, or major folk festivals across North America and Europe, Lapell captivates audiences with a stage presence that is both powerful and disarmingly intimate.At Caffè Lena — where listening is an art — her music will have the space it deserves.<a href="https://youtu.be/yOW_uhP9zyA?si=He3ALkkwu2Coj6Uz" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SAMPLE SONG</a>Join us for an unforgettable evening of haunting melodies, emotional depth, beautifully crafted songwriting and the kind of performance that invites deep listening.
