Performer Spotlight – Caitlin and Billy – Coffee Works Debut
Coffee Works is proud to support local musicians and give them opportunities to play their music at our invitational Thursday Night showcase concerts. Not too long ago we had two performers from our open mic crowd come out and do a show for their fans, friends, and family. Caitlin and Billy performed two very nice sets of music and the crowd loved them. We hope to have them back soon. Here’s a few pictures from their Coffee Works debut performance.

Al Kooper 8-21-11
The legendary Al Kooper will be performing a Solo show at Coffee Works on Sunday August 21st.
Al Kooper is often referred to as the “Zelig” or “Forrest Gump” of Rock. Somehow, in a career that spans 50 years, he has managed to turn up at key points in the last five decades. In 1958, Koop began his professional career as guitarist in The Royal Teens (“Short Shorts”).
He metamorphisized into a Tin Pan Alley songwriter with cuts by Gary Lewis, Gene Pitney, Keely Smith, Carmen MacRae, Pat Boone, Freddie Cannon, Lulu, Lorraine Ellison, Donnie Hathaway and later was sampled by The Beastie Boys, Jay-Z, Pharcyde, and Alchemist to name but a few. In the mid-sixties, Al was a member of The Blues Project and then founded Blood Sweat & Tears, remaining only for their debut album “Child Is Father To The Man.” He then slipped his producer hat on and began with the top ten album “SuperSession” in 1968 featuring Mike Bloomfield & Stephen Stills. He is well known for his organ playing on Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone.” He played off & on with Dylan for many years, live and in the studio. His playing skills have graced the works of The Rolling Stones, George Harrison, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Paul & Mary, Tom Petty, Joe Cocker, BB King, Taj Mahal, Alice Cooper, Roger McGuinn, Betty Wright, Trisha Yearwood, Tracy Nelson and scores more. Major moments include playing piano, organ and FRENCH HORN for The Rolling Stones on “You Cant Always Get What You Want,” keyboards on George Harrison’s #1 hit “All Those Years Ago,” keys on “The Who Sell Out,” and on “Electric Ladyland” for Jimi Hendrix.
