Upgrades, changes and improvements continue at The Coffeehouse💕

We are pleased that musician and friend Mark White from the acoustic duo BluesGrass will be giving a loving home to one of our two upright pianos (a lovely early 20th century Krakaur), making way for some exciting changes on that side of the building. Thank you Mark, and enjoy!

Note the infamous front-page Middletown Press picture when we first rolled the piano down and across Main Street to the studio from our music neighbor The Buttonwood Tree in 2011 (photo by Catherine Avalone).
