 @ the Good Folk Coffeehouse Saturday, February 25 @ 7:30pm Music at the Good Folk Coffeehouse isn’t just “small potatoes” or is it? Join “Small Potatoes” on Saturday, February 25 at the Good Folk Coffeehouse.
The Chicago based folk duo of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso say it has taken them years of careful indecision to develop a repertoire they describe as “Celtic to Cowboy.” Superb musicianship and showmanship, award-winning songwriting, and a strong sense of tradition has made them, as Dirty Linen Magazine once said, “one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit.” Come and enjoy an evening’s entertainment.
Doors open at 7:30pm and the music starts at 8pm. Adult donations are $25 and Children 7-12 are half price. Children under 7 are welcome. No reservations are necessary. The Rowayton United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall, 5 Pennoyer Street. For more information, please visit them at www.goodfolkcoffeehouse.com.
