A musical showcase
E
very Saturday night, for the past
five years, the ASUI has provided
local talent with the opportunity to
express itself through the Coffee House.
Free coffee and tea are provided each
week at the program in the Vandal
Lounge of the SUB where various folk artists
perform.
The first hour, from 8 to 9 p.m. is
designated as open-microphone time, in
which anyone may come up and share
their talents either singing, playing or
reading poetry.
"We have no problem filling that time
up," said Barry Bonafas, ASUI programs
coordinator.
The Coffee House is an informal
gathering of 75 to 100 students \'{ho enjoy
listening to music.
"The attendance has been up since
mid-October- people are coming more
regularly," said Bonafas.
Recently the Coffee House has looked
into the possibility of getting a known jaz2
or folk artist to perform. 0
