The cafe wraps up the 2024 season
Friday 11/22
with the wonderful
Louise Coombe (formerly Mosrie)
The show is from 7:00 – 9:00 at the Village Church in beautiful downtown Cummington in the heart of the Cummington Cultural District.
We will be back for the 2025 season in January! Cheers!
Now residing in Williamsburg, Louise grew up on a farm in middle TN with English parents; is a late bloomer; writes lots of American roots songs and tells the stories behind them.
Compared to Nanci Griffith, Emmy Lou Harris and Alison Krauss, she’s opened shows for America, Joe Ely, Jonatha Brooke, Allison Moorer, Greg Trooper, Malcomb Holcombe, Mindy Smith and Cliff Eberhardt.
A Louise Coombe show is warm, intimate, funny and thought-provoking… she weaves together narratives between songs peppered with humorous personal stories and historical anecdotes with her unique Southern POV.
She has won top honors at songwriting contests around the country including Kerrville (TX) New Folk (2x winner – the only one!), Telluride Bluegrass Festival (CO), Rocky Mountain Folks Fest (CO), Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY) and SolarFest (VT).
The event is free, donations are appreciated, snacks are provided, BYO drinks. The show will take place in the intimate Vestry space. Masks are welcome, and encouraged. Once again brought to you by the friendly folks at the Village Church who believe music can be a powerful force for building community.
