Deidre McCalla is an American singer-songwriter from New York City. McCalla was raised around the folk music scene of Macdougal Street in New York, where she began her career. In 1983, she moved to northern California. She has released several albums on the women's music label Olivia Records.
“Socially relevant, deeply personal… Deidre has always been an artist that challenges often-stereotypical perceptions to music by writing and singing from her heart. I found Endless Grace to be one of the most rewarding albums I’ve heard in a long time” -Sing Out!

We 3 Ukes consists of long-time local entertainers Steve Girman (ukulele/percussion/vocals), Tom Stemper (U-bass/vocals) and Vinn Stemper (ukulele/vocals). For years, We 3 Ukes have been entertaining Milwaukee-area children and adults alike with their classic (and sometimes surprising) rendition of classic rock and roll songs that span the decades. Be prepared to laugh and sing along to some of your favorite tunes with their lively performance.
Opening are The Fallen Four (formerly the Frozen Four) a quartet performing some of the lovely music of members of Jefferson Airplane and associated groups. The group consists of Andy Jehly, Paul Smith, JP Spencer, and ives Iverson. The songs they bring vary from obscure to well-known, but are always a joy to hear.
Folks would walk under the old Coffee House sign to enter a welcoming world of music and poet friends to talk about peace and justice, reminisce, and share their stories and songs. Tonight we invite everyone to join in on an old Coffee House tradition. Bring an instrument, a song or your own book of poems. You can come just to listen or join in yourself. - The Coffee House Friends Gathering and Open Jam is a time to gather together listen, appreciate everybody's contribution, and have fun singing -- that's what it's all about. In a jam session or song circle just try to be observant and feel your way gently. Each person who wants to can take a turn playing a song and they lead the group. The idea is that no one plays louder than the person leading the song. Depending on the size of the group you may be able to lead multiple songs when the circle comes around as each person takes a turn. We love if people just want to come to listen too. Wonderful time to visit with friends.
