High Street Coffee House

The High Street Coffee House is a “Open Mic” venue, welcoming musicians, poets and comedians to take the zoom stage for two or three songs, depending on the number of performers that sign up.

For June through September, we plan to hold the Coffee House outside at the Church Park, located at the intersection of Routes 3 & 4 in Boscawen.  This event will be held the 1st Saturday of June and on 2nd Saturday in the months of July, August and September. The family
friendly events will be from 4 to 7 pm, food will be sold.

Admission is FREE, though a donation basket is passed and you can make a donation anytime by visiting https://www.boscawencongregationalchurch.com/donate-today.html. Proceeds help keep the music going and support the Boscawen Congregational Church.

Though no one knows the outcome of the pandemic, we all hope that by fall we will be back together in person at the town hall.

Cosy Sheridan first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at The Kerrville Folk Festival and The Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The Boston Globe wrote: ”she is now being called one of the best new singer/songwriters”.
She has been on the road ever since, playing clubs, concert halls and coffeehouses across the country. “You can't make it into double digits, and continue touring for twenty or so years, unless you know what you're doing, and do it well,” said The Chicago Examiner.

She continues to be one of the most prolific songwriters in the folk scene. My Fence & My Neighbor was number four on the folk radio charts in 2018. Pretty Bird was was listed in Sing Out Magazine’s Great CDs of 2014.

She was a voice student at Berklee College of Music, and a guitar student of legendary finger style players Eric Schoenberg and Guy Van Duser. She has played at Carnegie Hall, The Cowgirl Hall of Fame and on the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
Backed by the strong rhythms and harmonies of her bass player Charlie Koch, she plays a percussive bluesy guitar style, often in open tunings and occasionally with two capos on the guitar neck.

She teaches classes in songwriting, performance and guitar at workshops and adult music camps across the country. She is the director of Moab Folk Camp in Moab, Utah.
