Now this is a true prodigal son for us!


April 07 Bill Ward ($12) 8 PM

Here's how The Dictionary defines dynamic, powerful, and
commanding : "Bill Ward" Or it should. All those words
apply to his presence, voice, instrumentality and songs.
Whether on guitar, piano or 30+ other instruments, Bill
is a masterful performer of modern folk and bluesy jazz
originals and Texas flavored country and rock music. The
Coffeehouse will become a powerhouse tonight when Bill
brings us his soaring vocals along with some specially
invited guest performers.

Opening Jim Bizer and Jan Krist

A rare and marvelous pairing of writers of insightful
songs.
