Civil rights sit-ins. Bell-bottoms. Anti-war marches. Student Power. Afros. Mini-skirts. Hippies. Riots. Space flights. The generation gap.
Those hallmarks of the turbulent 1960’s will be rekindled this year at the annual “Spirit of the ‘60’s Coffeehouse.”
The show begins at 7:30pm in the church basement but get there early for a good seat.

We’re all going to die at some point, and the sooner that realization really hits home, the sooner we can live our precious lives to the fullest. With that in mind, please join me as I sing a wide variety of songs about many different aspects of death.
Don’t worry. This won’t be a depressing morbid look at death. In fact, I’ll be including several songs about the liberation we can feel when we realize our inevitable deaths give our lives meaning and open the door for us to be the best we can be.
The Black Swamp Saxophone Quartet will be closing out the series with a mix of classics, original works and a few transcriptions. This Columbus based ensemble has been together since 1991 and continues to delight audiences with its energy, passion and good humor.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 the day of the event.
