An already established tradition is bluegrass & gospel music Sundays from 1 to 3 pm. The Coffee Garage recently launched Live Events, in order to be more of a cultural gathering place in evenings and on weekends. The inaugural act played to a delighted crowd, Kier, Musical Comedy. Next up was Culture Shock Visual Trivia, Celtic Fiddler and storyteller Jamie Laval, and local musician and WNCW radio host Marshall Ballew, with a folk and blues performance inspired by his Appalachian roots. And many more to come. Ee For more on The Garage on 25: www.Facebook.com@garageon25
