will host our monthly coffeehouse on

at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

This month we are proud to be featuring Don and Maureen Black.

Don and Maureen Black began taking guitar lessons with Helen Avakian in September of 2008. They first played together in public in January 2013, under the name “Never Too Late”. Since then they have played together in a variety of local venues, most notably in the “Teachers” – themed John Street Jam, and in a Lou Reed tribute in Nyack. They are active in the Hudson Valley Folk Guild and play regularly at the High Falls Café and at Richard’s Rhinecliff Acoustic Show at Morton Library. They enjoy playing humorous songs and, most especially, songs written by local artists.
