Coffee Works Open Mic News

Next Tuesday July 7th will be the last time we see Alan Sloan at the Coffee Works open mic event for a while.  We all know who Alan is and think very highly of him and his musical talents.  Alan has collaborated with many of the regulars on many different numbers and instruments.  From soprano sax to keyboards he has always managed to WOW the audience.  I personally think Alan is a great human being and wish him all the best with his new endeavors in Michigan.  Thanks for the memories.  We’ll all miss you.

Sherry is an avid music lover and live concert fan and we see her at lots of events.  It was real nice having her come by Coffee Works and hang out with us.  Listen to her show on 88.9 FM, wednesday nights at 10pm, The Blues Cafe with Sherry Wine.

Tuesday night is no exception except instead of the featured performers they have every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, it’spacked with local performers waiting inline to get their ten minutes on stage at the Weekly Open Mic Night. The talent is amazing.  I am honored to host this great night of performance and invite you to come out and play or just come out and listen, have some coffee and snacks.  A very entertaining night and they do have the best coffee around!!  Tuesday Nights at Coffee Works Cafe!  7:30 to 10:00 every week with me as your host.
