Coffee House last night at the Mid Town Family Resource Center

Roger Adkins and Cody Jones performed last night at a coffee house here at our 1739 St. Mary's Ave storefront. They each performed a set of about an hour, mixing original songs and covers in the genres they are passionate about. There were over 25 people in attendance, making it a fun exchange between musicians and audience. These offerings at the Mid Town Family Resource Center are a part of what we do, trying to connect people in the community with each other, around the building of community, and raising awareness of what we do, and providing a positive activity and opportunity for neighborhood youth and community members. The way we set these up, we never know how many people will come out, and its always rewarding and exciting when there is a good turnout; people are never disappointed in the quality of the music! Roger and Cody both have engaging styles of song-selection, between-song-banter, and connecting with the audience. They both have lots of fire and passion for music, in many veins. We hope to continue to hold these live music events, along with the variety of other "drop in center" activities that go on at the Mid Town Family Resource Center.
