High Street Coffee House Featuring Dana Robinson
Friday, June 5, 7:00 pm
Friday, June 5, 7:00 pm
Join us at 7:00 pm on Friday, June 5th as we welcome Vermont based singer-songwriter Dana Robinson to High Street Coffee House.
"Dana’s sound embodies the spirit of places that he has lived: the expansiveness of the Western States, the intimacy of New England, the passion of Great Britain’s traditional ballads, and the grit of Southern Appalachia. Dana incorporates elements of oldtime and country blues with rock and folk sensibilities. Equally adept at American flat picking and English finger-style, Dana often combines them to create a rhythmic style uniquely his own. Dana’s fiddle playing is influenced by the Round Peak-style from North Carolina. " To learn more about Dana and sample his music, go to https://www.robinsongs.com/
Dana will open the evening and may return for a short set at the end. We will have time for at least 8 open mic performers. Musicians, poets and comedians can take the stage for two songs or ten minutes. Performers are encouraged to sign up ahead of time by emailing Liz at [email protected]. Priority for open mic will be given to those who did not perform at our May event.
Doors to the sanctuary of the Boscawen Congregational Church open at 6:15 pm, the music starts at 7:00, and the evening is typically wrapped up by 9:45. The sanctuary is handicap accessible by the door on the street side of the church across from the Fire Station.
Admission is FREE, but we pass a basket for donations. Refreshments are available by donation. There will be coffee, tea, hot chocolate & water on the beverage table, assorted desserts and snacks, and several hot options for a light dinner. We always include vegetarian and GF options.
Questions? Call Chris at 603-520-9196 or email us. We look forward to seeing you on June 5. Bring a friend!
Note that we will be closed in July and August and will return in September with a new, Sunday afternoon schedule. Watch this page or follow us on Facebook for details.
