April 24 - Sing Along with Matt Watroba

This is the Michigan kick-off of the Sing Out Community Choir. All the great things you expect from Matt Watroba plus a healthy dose of community singing featuring songs from Rise Up Singing. Matt hopes to lead 10,000 voices across the country in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Sing Out! Magazine and of Pete Seeger, who help co-found the magazine. This will be a celebration of music and community.

Matt Watroba's obvious love of folk music will be evident during this performance.  His excellent guitar playing, mellow voice, friendship with his audience, and special brand of humor will make for an entertaining and enlightening evening.

Opening performer to be announced.  Admission for this show is $12, seniors and those under 18 are $10.

May 15 - Laurence Juber

MAMA's Coffeehouse and the Michigan Fingerstyle Guitar Society are excited to present two-time Grammy winner Laurence Juber.  Laurence got his "big break" when Paul McCartney picked him to be his lead guitarist for the Wings.  After the band folded, he embarked on a career as a solo artist, composer and arranger, and soon developed a reputation as a world-class guitar virtuoso, being voted #1 by Fingerstyle Guitar magazine.  Laurence has recorded over 20 albums, over 80 recordings with others and has composed music for stage, television and movies.

"He gloriously articulates the melodies and never succumbs to show-off playing. But the notes spin out of the songs with such finesse and musical agility, it's hard to believe he has only 10 fingers and six strings..." - San Francisco Chronicle

Opening performer to be announced.  Admission for this show will be $15, seniors and those under 18 are $13.
