Thanks to all who came to our Coffeehouse during the 2005-2006 season
Line-up (2006-2007)
·There will be four (NEW - but now there are five) Coffeehouses this season on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
·Saturday, October 14, 2006 CANCELLED
·Saturday, November 11, 2006 SONQO - Experience the magic and music of the Andes. Featuring internationally touring performers, this band brings to life the various traditions and music heard in the South American mountains. SONQO plays authentic Andean music with a variety of traditional instruments that originated during the Pre-Columbian times in combination with the stringed instruments brought by the Spanish conquistadors. These include traditional zampoñas, quenas, quenachos, antaras, zencas, rondador, ocarinas, moxenos, charango, mandolin, guitar, bombo, wankara, Peruvian cajon, guacharaca, claves, rainsticks, guaza, and chapchas. http://www.sonqo.com
·Saturday, December 9, 2006 CHRISTOPHER WESTFALL – Special Christmas program. In concert, Chris' style finds a balance of 'acoustic folk'. The clear tenor voice moves gently from familiar folk tunes to original interpretations of artists such as James Taylor and John Denver, and then to his own heartfelt compositions. What a wonderful message he shares with us in his introspective "I'm Coming Home" and his lyrical celebration of the holiday season with "Know It's Christmas". http://www.chriswestfall.com/index.cfm
·Saturday, March 10, 2007 PETER STONE BROWN - Peter is a singer-songwriter and freelance writer. His music contains elements of country, folk, rock 'n' roll and blues. If it must be categorized, it falls somewhere in the wide realm of roots-based American music. Fans have discovered the honesty and integrity of Brown's heartfelt lyrics and melodies. http://www.peterstonebrown.com/
·Saturday, April 14, 2007 Stephane Wrembel (guitar), Jared Engel (bass) & Jon Dichter (guitar) - An evening of GYPSY SWING JAZZ à la Django Reinhardt. They are composing and playing Gypsy music with their own sound, blending influences from all over the world, allowing room for space and more rhythm possibilities, “Gypsy Jam”. If there is interest, Stephane Wrembel will give a Gypsy Swing guitar workshop on this same day. For information on the workshop call Jon Dichter at 610-649-8863.

And an added fifth Coffeehouse to our present season:
·Saturday, May 12, 2007 HOBO PIE – Returning again from their performance at Gwynedd in 2003. Vocal and instrumental old time music, sometimes with a twist, and always with lots of energy. As they say “From the wilds of southeastern Pennsylvania, comes a band with energy and humor”. From left to right: Ray Frick, Carl Baron, Barbara Johnson and Bob Woodcock who will play on an assortment of instruments: fiddle(s), banjo, guitar, mandolin, banjo-guitar, uke, banjo-uke, slide-guitar, autoharp, jug and who knows what else. They will also have a special guest on bass, Laura Johnson.
$5 suggested donation requested to help support the musicians. We also ask for voluntary donations to charities, which in the past have included local food and housing projects, disaster relief and international programs aimed at education and providing self-sufficiency to impoverished rural areas.
