Music - Jon does the music (and other event) booking. Contact him using our Contact Page (choose "Music Booking").

Do not call the cafe with booking requests. Please do not drop off or mail demos unless requested.

In general, we book a wide variety of styles. Most interested in artists that are doing something a bit more off the beaten path. We do 1 or 2 shows per week. Fridays and Saturdays only. Unless you are Dolly Parton don't call about weekdays. We don't book cover bands although we do present some old-timey stuff and yes, that's all covers... Also, due to the smallness of the venue, we can't do any really loud music. In addition to what you'd expect at a coffeehouse, we also do experimental music of various types, arty stuff, some rock...
