Event Description

Old City Coffee is pleased to host our first ever tribute show to the one, the only McGarrigle Sisters. Join your favorite local musicians in a celebration of Kate and Anna McGarrigle and their incredible catalog of songs that span five decades. These sisters have written some truly amazing classics that range from folk revival to disco-tinged pop. In addition, many of their records feature some sweet banjo parts. We at Old City love banjos because the site of our cafe on 221 Church Street, was once the famed SS Stewart Banjo Factory in the late 19th century. Each musician or band will chose a song to cover and perform it for one another while you get to enjoy some warm, cozy drinks.

Interested performers should contact mira@oldcitycoffee.com for more information. Please include the following:  
1. Name of Musician(s)
2. The Kate and Anna McGarrigle song you would like to cover
3. A Brief description of your music and how you plan to perform a McGarrigle song in your style   
4. Link to a website to hear your music if applicable 
5. What gear do you need and what can you provide yourself? We will have two mics, two mic stands, and a PA.

No, I won't be there in person...but I would love to have the chance to play one of my Stewarts right there at the factory!
