The St. John’s Coffeehouse Concerts bring live music to local audiences; empower performing artists; and benefit social-support and arts organizations in the greater community. The series produces 8 concerts per year, and is in its eighth year. The series was established in 2012 when we brought in a Tanzanian Gospel singer named Flora Mayala and a local women’s African drumming group, Kukublu.
