Our fall coffeehouses are just around the corner! Friday September 18th will feature Andrea and Adam Zonnis, hailing from Victoria. They are two star-struck lovers who wander our planet seeking beauty, connection, and peace. Their songs of hope and joy, blended with a nuanced view of human nature and honest social commentary, take audiences on a whimsical journey through the peaks and valleys of this strange road we call life.
See you there!
