The Deer Creek Coffeehouse announces its second season and invites you to explore live folk music and singer/songwriter music in an intimate candlelit setting at the new Deer Creek coffeehouse in the picturesque setting of Darlington. Per suggestions from our followers, we've incorporated a few changes this year. We'll have many smaller tables to allow two couples or more to sit together. More importantly, because of two grants we've received, we are reducing the suggested donation amounts to make this music of the people even more accessible. Adults are $10 and students are $5 (or, as always, pay what you can). Homemade baked goods, snacks, coffee, tea and water are available for purchase. On Saturday, Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m., MSG Acoustic Blues Trio will perform traditional Piedmont blues. Their style of music has influenced by the likes of Archie Edwards, Etta Baker and Cephas & Wiggins. This band can raise the roof with some old-fashioned house party tunes, make you laugh with its witty original and then make you weep with blues ballads.
