Someplace Else Concert Series
A few times throughout the year on Saturday evenings,
the Someplace Else Concert Series steps into Fellowship Hall at Highlands Presbyterian Church and provides an evening of live, acoustic music performed by singer/songwriters from across the country.
Established in the fall of 2003, “SPE” or “the Coffeehouse” as it’s often and fondly called, provides an evening of great music, great fellowship, and even homemade snacks during intermission…what’s not to like?!
Save the following 08/09 concert dates and join us for another great
line up. We look forward to seeing you!

'08/'09 Acoustic Roots Workshop Series with
MARK DVORAK & Faculty from
OLD TOWN SCHOOL OF FOLK MUSIC
October 2008 will bring our second season of workshops with Mark
which are held on Wednesday
evenings about once a month. A new season means new topics and new faculty from OTS, as
well as three workshops running simultaneously during the evening. Each
workshop night will conclude with a short jam session and sing-along for all attendees in
the main room, Fellowship Hall. Bring your instruments, your voices, and your friends and don't miss this
fun! (Please note: This workshop series is for adults, 18 and older).
NEW FACES!
We welcome OTS
faculty members Maura Lally, Peggy Browning, and Louis Mitchell to this years' workshop series. Maura & Peg will team-teach basic guitar workshops, and Louis will instruct all those interested in discovering, or re-discovering, the fiddle. Mark will continue with Acoustic Blues Guitar, Finger Picking Guitar, and two new workshops, Fret Board Theory and Improvising Guitar.
