Camden Opera House, 29 Elm St., invites one and all to the first Blue Café of the new year, Wednesday, Jan. 14. Local folk-pop duo Bobbylene will open the 2026 series of free performances in the opera house’s intimate third-floor listening room at 7:30 p.m. 

Bobbylene is the husband/wife duo of Bobby Katz and Marlene McCarthy, who met while studying music at NYU. Katz, a jazz saxophonist, and McCarthy, a classical pianist, joined forces and started writing and recording music in a completely different genre – pop-influenced folk music. 

Seating is limited to about 50, with spillover space in the adjacent lounge. The street-level door to the elevator lobby will open 7 p.m.

There is no admission charge for The Blue Café series; donations for the sponsoring Community Arts Fund are welcomed.
