Local musicians create a comfortable ambiance at Comma Coffee with live lunchtime music
Customers can sip on a drink, or enjoy lunch while local musicians create a relaxing, yet productive ambiance. Often completely acoustic, customers find the music lifts the mood and adds productivity for those typing away on laptops.
Comma Coffee offers free lunchtime music, daily from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
“The musicians become part of the fixtures of Comma Coffee,” said owner, June Joplin. “It adds another dimension.”
Austin Scott, a contemporary singer/songwriter comes in on Monday’s to sing and play the piano.
On Tuesday’s CW and Dr. Spitmore come through with vintage honky tonk music featuring harmonica, A resonator guitar, and Dr. Spitmore puffing away on a jug.
Wednesdays aren’t completely booked so musicians can contact Comma Coffee if they would like to perform. “I would like something like classical guitar, cello, harp—some sort of instrumental classical music,” Joplin said.
Thursday’s, Hallie Kirk and Lee Jones alternate each week. Hallie Kirk performs popular songs on guitar, and Lee Jones plays finger picking country and folk music with a Hawaiian flavor. “It’s great because I see the whole spectrum of people here,” said Jones. “It’s really cool that June supports live music,” he added.
Friday’s is CW and David Leather known as “The Hoboes,” performing old time music on banjo and mandolin.
Comma Coffee is a participant of the wine walk on every first Saturday as well. Hallie Kirk sings and plays guitar from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
While the music is free the musicians are accepting tips. Community members can help keep the chords strumming by tossing a few bucks in the jar.
Comma Coffee is directly across the street from the Nevada State Legislature on Carson St. Visit CommaCoffeecafe.com for a complete event list.
