Edgar’s Place Coffeehouse Proudly Presents Michael Smith on February 11


Wherever you go. Whatever you do. He stays in your head…

Park Forest, IL—(ENEWSPF)—January 19, 2017.  Edgar’s Place Coffeehouse proudly presents Michael Smith on Saturday, February 11 at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church (UUCC), 70 Sycamore Drive in Park Forest.  Doors will open at 7 p.m. with the performance beginning at 7:30 p.m.

One of the most captivating songwriters in the folk arena, celebrated musician Michael Peter Smith has toured the US and Canada for nearly five decades. He creates new work on a constant basis, and music’s finest performers record his songs. His song, The Dutchman, is considered a classic.

Wherever he is… touring concert venues, clubs, theaters, folk festivals at house concerts, or teaching song writing workshops, in powerful songs, award winning musical scores, and unforgettable recordings… Musical mastery is in whatever Michael does. Please check out his website at michaelsmithmusic.com if you’d like to learn more about Michael.

“Hearing the songs of Michael Smith in this day and age is like reading an anthology of Hemingway’s short stories after decades of only comic books. It’s a realization that songs can hold a whole lot more than they’re usually expected to hold, they can possess a genuine sense of place and time as evocative and magical as the finest literature.” Paul Zollo, Song Talk Magazine

Admission is $15. As a reminder: Edgar’s Place is a first come, first serve, cash only venue with no assigned seats. This is an alcohol free venue. Complementary snacks, coffee and tea will be served and cans of soda and home baked goodies will be on sale.
