    Common Ground Coffeehouse

    (Music industry)

    April 2009Present (10 months)

    Common Ground Coffeehouse is a monthly music and performing arts series (usually) held at the First Unitarian Society of Westchester in Hastings-on-Hudson NY. It was founded as an effort to build community and to support regional and national musicians and other artists. Since 2005, Common Ground has used its profits to operate the Common Ground Microcredit Fund. The fund raised has raised over $20,000 for local, regional and global community groups and organizations that provide either much needed social services or work toward progressive, nonviolent social change. For more information on Common Ground’s social justice mission, and to learn more about the Common Ground Microcredit Fund, please click here.

    Now in our eigth year, Common Ground has hosted such beloved national and regional artists as Chris Smither, The Holmes Brothers, Kimya Dawson, Jen Chapin, Guy Davis, Sloan Wainwright, The Kennedys, Red Molly, Emma’s Revolution, Great Lake Swimmers, Nerissa and Katryna Nields, Rachelle Garniez, and many more. For many years, Common Ground was a regular stop on the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival’s Annual Most Wanted Preview Tour. In addition to traditional and modern folk artists and singer-songwriters, we frequently feature other musical genres, such as jazz, blues, cajun-zydeco, popular song, R&B, and even the occasional evening of avant garde gamelan music!
