For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>

For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Evening concerts at Green Wood Coffee House Series]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[(Sun, 08 Nov 2026 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EST)
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>Friday, September 25 through Saturday, December 12 </strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m</strong>. <strong>&middot;</strong> Suggested donation $20. For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>

For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>

For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Sat, 28 Nov 2026 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EST)
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>Friday, September 25 through Saturday, December 12 </strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m</strong>. <strong>&middot;</strong> Suggested donation $20. For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US.

<description><![CDATA[(Sun, 29 Nov 2026 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EST)
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>Friday, September 25 through Saturday, December 12 </strong><strong>&middot;</strong> <strong>7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m</strong>. <strong>&middot;</strong> Suggested donation $20. For more information contact Green Wood Coffee House Series at (734) 645-0944 or visit greenwoodcoffeehouse.org.</p>  <ul>  <li><strong>Friday, September 18:</strong> Reggie Harris Reggie combines spirituals, roots music, historic inspiration, and original songs: songs of joy, hope, unity, social justice, and freedom. Reggie writes from a personal sense of mission filled with possibility and hope. His songs are about life and love and deep aspects of the human experience.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, September 25: </strong>Tyler Smilo is backed up by Jassen Wilber (bass guitar), Adam McKillip (mandolin, vocals), and Dominick DeCecco (banjo). Their set moves from gritty hard-luck foot stompers to triumphant ballads.&nbsp;Smilo and the Ghost combine bluegrass and country chops with charismatic, high-energy performance.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, October 3:</strong> Pierce Pettis is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune. His songs have been recorded by many stellar artists including Dar Williams, Garth Brooks, and Art Garfunkel.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 9:</strong> Chuck Brodsky&rsquo;s soulful voice brings his songs' characters to life, infusing his lyrics with heartfelt humanity or biting wit. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics. Chuck is widely known for his many wonderful songs about the heroes&mdash;and zeroes&mdash;of baseball.</li>  <li><strong>Thursday, October 22:</strong> Sarah McQuaid's lush, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and brilliant musicianship on acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth, wit, and intimacy.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 23:</strong> Close harmony vocal quartet Windborne is Lynn Rowan, Will Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon. The quartet's dynamic concerts include songs from across Europe, as well as traditional and original American folk music. They educate as they perform, telling stories about the characteristics and stylistic elements of singing traditions.</li>  <li><strong>Friday, October 30:</strong> Singer/songwriter Bobby Pennock's style is reminiscent of 60's and 70's singing storytellers such as Paul Simon and Harry Chapin. His trio includes David Roof on lead guitar and vocals, and John Sperendi on bass and vocals.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, November 21:</strong> UK native Rupert Wates' music is an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville and cabaret. Wates' songs have been covered by other artists in the UK, Canada, and the US. Over 20 recordings featuring Wates's songs by other artists were made in 2016 alone.</li>  <li><strong>Saturday, December 12:</strong> Hiroya Tsukamoto is a unique composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter from Kyoto, Japan. He began playing the five-string banjo at age thirteen, taking up the guitar shortly after. In 2000, Hiroya received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the United States. In 2018, Hiroya won 2nd place in International Finger Style Guitar Championship.</li>  <li><strong>Sunday, December 13:</strong> Partners in life and in music, Genna &amp; Jesse offer up a blend of quirky chemistry, intricate vocal harmonies, and ardent storytelling in their vibrant live performances, with folk, blue-eyed soul, jazz, blues, torch song, and '60s and '70s pop. Their shows feel expansive, joyful, and deeply human, shaped by curiosity rather than convention.</li>  </ul>]]></description>
