ABOUT PERKS MYSPACE PAGE:

Please use this site to review our concert calendar and note that the next 40 performers are essentially the same as our top 40 "friends". If you are interested to learn more about any of the upcoming musicians simply click on their icon and you will be taken to their Myspace. From there you can review the artists' biographies and listen to their music.

Myspace does not let nonmembers use some functions such as sending messages or viewing a user's pictures. If you try to do this you will be asked to "Please log in to continue" At this point you can simply back-up one page and avoid that function. Or even better, sign-up, (it's free) become a member, and a friend of Perks.

Thanks for looking us up!

We serve great soups, salads, and sandwiches. We also have cakes, muffins, scones, biscotti, raspberry lime rickies, and hot chocolate etc. Don't let the coffeehouse name scare you.

But, best of all we have FREE live music every Thursday and Friday. See the "Upcoming Shows" (To your right) and "friends space" (Below "Upcoming Shows") for dates and musicians.

Performers can sell merchandise and take tips but no "pass the hat." We don't charge a cover (yet) or serve alcohol so the gig does not pay a fortune...But the room is worth it!
