St. Thomas Roasters

Special thanks to Henry Koretzky for the referral for this - St. Thomas Roaster's is a wonderful little shop in Linglestown, right by Harrisburg. Been there a couple times to hear Henry and KJ; good people, and a good venue with a strong sense of community. It just don't get much better than that. Try the tanzanian peaberry coffee - I think it might actually be a bit better than my beloved roast from The Cheese Shoppe in State College.

Rose Garden Coffeehouse

I'm happy to say I'm a finalist in the 2010 Rose Garden Coffeehouse songwriting competition. Given some of my favorite songwriters have been here, too -- Jud Caswell, Joe Crookston, Jenny Goodspeed, Dave Potts -- I can say with all sincerity I'm just happy to have made it this far. I've heard nothing but good things about the Rose Garden from people who have played or been audience there, and I'm very much looking forward to the experience. The songs I entered were Boattail Riviera and Clemente, both recorded at Frigo Studios. Clemente will make it to the CD; I'll be revisiting Boattail for it - this was pretty much a recording done solely to enter the contest. So if you're in the vicinity of Mansfield, MA on May 15, come out and listen! April Verch is the headliner that night, so I can guarantee it's going to be an evening of great music!
