Gloucester, MA – St. John’s Episcopal Church, 48 Middle Street, and Gloucester is holding a Coffee house on Friday, May 13 at 7:00 pm. Coffee and Tea will be available for purchase. Admission is free provided attendees bring canned goods or make a free will donation to the Cape Ann Food Pantry.
Renowned local guitarist Gary Backstrom spent over 12 years in the Boston based jam band Jiggle The Handle. He currently fronts The Gary Backstrom Band plus Road To Utopia – a Todd Rundgren tribute band. Don’t miss seeing Gary; even in an intimate acoustic setting he will rock your socks off.
“I’ve seen Gary about a dozen times the past 6 years and what amazes me is how he never does the same set twice. It is always a new and rewarding experience to hear him play. A unique part of this Friday’s event will be the “open mic” session. We are hoping folks will come and spontaneously share their performing skills whether it be singing, storytelling or poetry.” – Jim LaBelle
The Coffee House is open to the public. People attending are asked to bring canned food items or make a free will donation to the Open Door (the Cape Ann Food Pantry). For more information please call Jim LaBelle at 978-828-0055.
