Cosy Sheridan, a long-time favorite of our series

who
we are

genesis
We've always loved acoustic music; in fact, Rich and Cindi met at an open stage at a local tavern. But after ten years of marriage, when someone suggested that we return to the things that we'd always liked to share, we stumbled onto a poster for James Lee Stanley playing at Cedarburg's Wisconsin Singer Songwriter Series -- that very night! Somehow we knew we'd come home. With the support and encouragement of WSSS founder Joe DeLucia and renowned local Folk DJ Mike Yuhas, we invited some wonderful artists to get us started. That was in 1995-- and despite erratic attendance, stupid pet tricks and the odd blizzard, we still open our living room now and then when our favorites come through town. Hope you'll join us soon!

Concerts are held in our cosy Washington Heights living room. We open our doors 30 minutes before concert time so you can select a good seat. We hope that our guests will make a contribution to the artist, usually $15-$20, which is their sole compensation for their performance. As your hosts we’ll provide warm spiced cider (or iced lemonade if the weather demands), and a generous all-you-can-eat buffet of homemade desserts, fruit and munchies. It's easy to strike up conversations in the leisurely break between sets, whether you want to “chat up the talent” or simply network with other fans of acoustic music. While in the neighborhood, artists are welcome to stay over in our comfortable guest room-- unless they're allergic to our growing canine and feline family, that is!
