Subscribe to get event updates from Old Fashioned Coffee House Night: David Roth & Singer-Songwriter Showcase
[In person only! No livestream!]
Get into the groove of an earlier generation as PVC takes you back to the era of the subterranean Greenwich Village coffee house. No microphones, no speakers, no amps, and no live streaming, just acoustic instruments and natural human voices as we pull the chairs into a circle, turn down the lights, and enjoy homemade music as it was and as it still can be. After David Roth's 45-minute set, we feature five very talented but less known singer-songwriters who will each perform two of their very best songs in the round. David Roth will then return to do the final song of the night. Can you dig it? This event is part of The Village Trip! https://www.thevillagetrip.com/ David Roth David is a singer, songwriter, and recording artist who has taken his songs, experience, and expertise to a wide variety of venues and countries for more than three decades.
