Acoustic Blend Cafe - Homegrown Bluegrass
The Acoustic Blend Cafe is a monthly coffee house featuring local musicians in a casual, cozy, living room like setting. The atmosphere is intimate which allows interaction between the performers and the audience. Those of us who attended last year found these concerts very enjoyable and another hidden Hamilton gem.
The Acoustic Blend Cafe, affectionately known as ABC, helps to promote local performers and businesses. It also provides a welcoming gathering place for people to enjoy great music, delicious food and drink, and lots of camaraderie. Each event has a feature performer. After the feature there is an open mic for any one who wants an opportunity to perform. It can be anything you wish - comedy, story telling, singing, instrumental or whatever. Come on out and show us your stuff. Whether its brand new or you've been performing it for years we'd love to hear it. Its a great way to work out your jitters or practice strutting your stuff in front of a very friendly and welcoming crowd. After all its about helping to promote performers and those that are up and coming. The season for ABC runs from September to May.
Doors open at 7:30 pm, show starts at 8:00 pm. The entrance way is from the parking lot on Stanley Avenue.
Cost is $10 plus a $3 donation for delicious homemade goodies, coffee and drinks!
January's Performer is: Homegrown Bluegrass

No, not really. But, I haven't been to the Bread Bar in over a year. Yum. Maybe I should sign up for the event before I start to discuss dinner. :)

Attending dinner will be (so far) Melanie, Dave, Sylvia, Joanne and Judy I believe. Correct me if I've got this wrong or add your name if you'd like to join us. Sure, Melanie, make the reservation.

I'm really sorry, but something has come up and I can't make it to dinner on Saturday. Judy, I was only planning on dinner, not the concert. So, if anyone else is interested in dinner, they can take my place. Hope you all have a great time.

JudyEvent HostCo-OrganizerAwesome music, our toes didn't stop tapping the whole time! It was a lot of fun and too bad they were playing to so many empty seats. Dinner beforehand at the Earth to Table Bread Bar was excellent too, I will definitely go back there! I love Acoustic Blend Cafe!

For those who haven't been to the Cafe before, the entrance is from the parking lot which is on the Stanley Avenue side of the building, not the front doors of the church. Once inside the door it's not too far to the auditorium. There is usually lots of parking in the lot and on the surrounding streets. Just be wary that Homewood and Stanley are both one way streets.
