Coffeehouse Shout-Out

Let's also give a hand to the fine local acts who have graced our coffeehouse stage through the years! Please visit their websites, go out to their gigs, buy their music, support what they're doing. Listen local!

A special 'tip of the hat' goes to sound engineer Hank Imhof, who makes the music sound even better, and to our volunteers who do so much. Grazie!
