Join us for a free happy hour concert!
Singer and guitarist Kat Steih's concerts are a lively offering. Part performance art, part singer-songwriter, her performances combine self-satirizing songs about partnership (and the conflicts within) with sweet meditations on solitude and self-hood. "She's A MF'in Genius" is a crowd favorite, described by AllMusic as "an infectious anthem of femme power".

1 show, 2 great artists!

Rachel Dresselhouse brings her music like a truth quietly spoken—bare-boned, poetic, and luminous in its simplicity. She writes and performs like someone who has survived storms and still notices the way light bends through broken glass. With only her voice, guitar, and silence, she creates songs that feel both delicate and unshakable. She has shared music in festivals and quiet rooms across the country, around campfires, and even on a film soundtrack (The Horsemen, 2009). But her truest stage is wherever people are willing…
