JOIN US FOR THIS LIVE MUSIC EVENT FEATURING RICHARD D. LEWIS - 7 PM FRIDAY, JUNE 3
Join us Friday, June 3rd at Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House as Richard D. Lewis takes the stage! Richard D. Lewis is an artistic late bloomer whose music emerges out of the Folk/Americana tradition. His original songs contain a sharp political edge reflective of his past involvement in the protest movements of the 1960's and related struggles continuing into subsequent decades. These life changing experiences set a solid foundation for his current dedication to issues of human rights and social justice, including abuse suffered by psychiatric victim/survivors.
Richard once wrote and performed a few "protest songs" in the early 1970's, but left his guitar and songwriting idle for multiple decades. However, semi-retirement in 2015 led to a renewed inspiration and a total re-immersion back into fresh contemporary musical endeavors.
Richard follows a mantra of "Making Music to Change the World," but insists that those efforts must avoid an "agit-prop," or politically stilted style of writing and performing. He believes that the very best artistic creations are those that are truly "higher than life," and nurture the very best inclinations of the human spirit. His music has also been influenced and shaped by 25 years of counseling experiences in the south coast of Massachusetts, helping people whose lives have suffered from the violence of poverty and other various forms of trauma and drug addiction.
Richard's ideal performing environment would be small intimate venues and house concerts where there are opportunities for up close and personal dialogue with the audience. To learn more visit HOME | Mysite 1 (richarddlewis.com).
Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House is a “Open Mic” venue, welcoming musicians, poets and comedians to join to take the stage for two songs or ten minutes. Held in the sanctuary of the Boscawen Congregational Church, the acoustics are 2nd to none! Priority is giving to those performers that are new our “open mic”.

BOSCAWEN'S HIGH STREET COFFEE HOUSE 'REVISED' SPRING/ SUMMER SCHEDULE
|
e are excited to let everyone know that with the decrease in New Hampshire's active COVID cases, Boscawen's High Street Coffee House has now moved forward with live - in person events.
The Coffee House still does not have access to our previous venue in the Town Hall, which is the basement of the Church, so we are moving our April, May, and June live music events upstairs into the church sanctuary. While in the church sanctuary, we will be offering refreshments. Doors will open at 6:30 pm and music will start at 7:00 pm. On July 2nd we are planning a live concert event in Church Park that will be held on Saturday starting at 4:00 pm. This family friendly event will start at 4:00 pm and typically wind up around 7:30 pm and feature our full BBQ. Join us and bring a friend! |
