The Expresso Yourself Coffeehouse returns at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, at the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 26 North Street, Medfield. This month’s Coffeehouse will feature The Millis-Berfield Band. The theme for the evening is “Movin’.”
The Millis-Berfield Band features three talented and fun performers who have been playing together for over five years. Their music is a diverse list of covers and originals. Ken Porter (singer and percussionist) has opened for Dave Loggins and performed numerous times with Pete Seeger, The Kennedys, Kate Campbell, and many others. Bo Veaner (guitar and songwriter) was the lead guitarist and backup vocalist for Gerry Wasserman and The Great Experiment. John Zaia (violin, bass) is a classically-trained musician who has worked with Carolyn Waters.
Typically held on the last Saturday of every month, the Expresso Yourself Coffeehouse is an opportunity for spoken word artists to share their poetry, stories, and songs. Members of the community are invited to join in the fun, either to enjoy as an audience member or to participate. Open mic readers have five minutes to share. Original or non-original poetry, stories, performance art, music or songs welcome. Sticking to theme encouraged. Teens and adults welcome. Refreshments from Starbucks are served. Medfield TV films the event and posts it to YouTube. There is a $5 suggested donation ($3 for students).
Members of the community are also reminded to save the date for the Expresso's New Year's Gala on Saturday, December 30.
