From Camille Breeze:
Join us on Saturday, February 23rd for a truly special evening featuring former Boston-area musician Hugh Moffatt. Through more than twenty-five years as a singer and songwriter, there isn't much that the former Boston-area musician Hugh Moffatt hasn't done. The list of artists who have recorded his songs ranges from Patti Page to Jerry Lee Lewis to The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and Alabama. His song "Rose of My Heart" is part of Johnny Cash's last recording, American V: A Hundred Highways. Hugh has released nine albums and toured extensively around the world. We are delighted that Hugh will be kicking off his New England tour with all of us at CAPE! We will start the open mike at 7, with a break for Peter's set from 8-9. The two openers will be Music At the Mills students Karen Trent and George Kandouris.
The C.A.P.E. Coffeehouse is held on the 4th Saturday of every month. We are located at the Old Methodist Meetinghouse, 495 Main Street, Wareham , Massachusetts. Open mike starts at 7 pm. $10.00 Adults / $5.00 students & open mike performers. For more information call David Jackson at (781)724-9798, email capecoffehouse@gmail.com, or visit www.cape.webbweaver.com. The Coalition of Artists Performing for Education was founded in 1999.
