Fiddler's Dream Coffeehouse Music Meetup

Friday, September 5, 2025 at 7:30pm, at Fiddler's Dream Coffeehouse, 1702 East Glendale Avenue, Phoenix AZ 85020, KN95 masks required, $10 admission, doors at 7pm: Join us for an acoustic evening with Jonni Maria, a Travis-picking guitarist and singer/songwriter currently based in Phoenix. Jonni Maria has beautifully expressive vocals, perfectly accompanying her work on guitar and any number of other instruments. Come listen to her "tales of postvangelical bardery and help a bitch get paid!" Jonni Maria is always creating, so will be sure to have new music as well as some of our favorites! Her new Desert Dweller demos feature Marshall Applewhite crying at the roller derby, Jonni Maria's elaborate burial plans (involves kudzu), blatant Leonard Cohen references, and much more.
Doors open at 7pm, music begins at 7:30pm. $10 admission, cash or card. KN95 masks are required to be worn properly while inside (except for the musician while presenting), and are provided at no charge at the venue.
Support local musicians as they continue to make amazing art for our community, and celebrate Fiddler's Dream's 38th Anniversary year of showcasing acoustic music, storytelling, poetry, and spoken word in an intimate listening room environment. We offer seriously strong brewed coffee, soft drinks, teas, and of course Boxed Water, just $2! We offer plant-based barista style milks and creamers too. Fiddler's Dream is a nonprofit organization and totally volunteer-run, your attendance means so much to the artists and to us! Thank you!

Musicians, poets, spoken word artists! Looking for a intimate environment to share your music or poetry? Our Open Stage night is completely acoustic, no mics or amps, and lots of fun whether you wish to play or present, or simply enjoy the evening as part of the audience. $10 admission, KN95/N95 masks required & provided free. Doors will open at 5:45pm, and we start playing at 6:30pm. We do a one-song rotation and a time limit of no more than 4 minutes per turn. Depending on the number of performers, we often do four or even more rounds in the evening, so it's always a nice variety of music, poetry, spoken word, and storytelling. You are welcome here, and this is a great place to share a new song, or try a poem, or do a spoken word piece - there is so much beauty out there, come and share yours with an interested and supportive group of artists and appreciators who truly listen! Did we mention we have a nice Yamaha electric 88-key piano too for you to play? We recommend arriving before 6:29pm (if you are a musician, that will get you in on the first rotation, and if you just want to enjoy the music, you'll be there from the start!). And if you can't be there early, come on by when you can, and we will get you into the rotation.
KN95 masks are required to be worn properly while in the room, and are provided FREE at the venue. Each performer may choose to remove their mask while on stage for their turns. We'll have fabulously strong brewed coffee, hot water, cold water, and pop available for you to enjoy, which is included with your admission. We sometimes have one of the doors slightly open to improve ventilation and fresh air flow, so dress for the desert evening climate (we do try to keep it relatively comfortable inside)! Found someone you'd like to connect with and share music? Cool! Just chat outside on the lighted patio area-sound does carry inside! Thank you for having fun with us as celebrate our 38th Anniversary Year!
