Great performance last night

Kathleen Coffee came to Parkersburg yesterday and put on an amazing performance (well actually two performances!) and got my coffee house concept off to a great start. She is a very exciting performer; she is so into her creative process it is contagious. We had a good turnout; a very intriguing mix of people. The set up and arrangement of the room "worked" and people seemed comfortable and able to relax and enjoy. Kathleen played a long evening of original music, with much variation, intensity and engagement of the audience. She has a great style of guitar playing, her voice is captivating (quiet and strong at the same time), and her lyrics are very personal and yet reach out to the audience. She captured a new set of appreciative fans, who will be eager to follow her musical path.
The second performance was an impromptu short set at the shelter where she quickly engaged several of the girls there with not only her music but her kind, enthusiastic personality. It will be a solid impression on these neat, eager young women.
Thanks Kathleen for trekking up to Parkersburg; we will try to bring you back some time.
