Jackie Washington Landron, folksinger, actor. He was one of the first to set foot on Lena and Bill Spencer's stage.

This is the first episode of Caffe Lena: 60 Years of Song. Each week, we advance one year as we hear significant artists who played the Caffe in the year and a recent discovery. Thank you to Sarah Craig at the Caffe for her help with the compiling of the list of songs.

Jackie Washington grew up in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury. He studied at Emerson College as a Theater Arts major. As part of the Cambridge/Boston folk music scene in the early and mid-1960s, he released four albums on Vanguard.

This week's new discovery from the stage at Caffe Lena is Amythyst Kiah.
