SUMMARY:Coffee House Saturdays with live music – Performance by Nancy Elliott
DESCRIPTION:“Hard to believe I have been playing music and performing for 50 years. I started playing organ with my Mom. When I got my first guitar I was off and running\, playing campfires and pig roasts\, weddings and backyard parties. My older friends would get me into bars so I could sit in with the bands. I played the folk houses in Dayton\, resorts and lodges in Geneva\, and from here to there in California and Texas. Arizona is where I fell in with the Western crowd\, playing the same music I had been writing and singing for years. I now have my own little genre called South~Western Americana. I hope you enjoy the songs\, stories and poetry.” \nCoffee House Saturdays occurs every third and fourth Saturday of the month at the North Mountain Visitor Center (NMVC) located at 12950 North 7th Street in Phoenix. \nFree hot coffee\, refreshments and live music offered from 9 AM to 11 AM. \nAdmission is always free. \n \nDonations to Save Our Mountains Foundation (501c3) are always welcome. Any purchases made at our gift shop go toward supporting facility operations and our nonprofit’s mission of protecting the preserve for future generations. \nCall 602-343-5125 with any questions.
