Teen musicians and poets are invited to

Post Office) on Friday, November 18, from 7 to 10 p.m. Performers are welcome
to arrive at 6 p.m. to begin signing up. Admission is $5, which covers
refreshments.
"The first Coffeehouse went really well and we are excited to continue
getting the word out there and seeing new faces in our open mic community,"
said HSPA owner Chris Roberts. "We are inviting teens from all towns to
come and share their music and poetry and to practice their performance
skills in a friendly environment."
The HSPA provides the sound system, drum kit, microphones, amplifiers, and
piano. Performers are invited to bring their guitars or other instruments
and share one song or poem. Musicians and poets are asked to prepare a piece
that is no longer than five minutes so that everyone has an opportunity to
be on stage. Solo performers, collaborations, and band performances are all
welcome.
