Featuring Dean Stevens
For twenty five years Dean Stevens has delighted audiences of all ages throughout the Americas. An exuberant performer of distinctive style and wit, he combines an intricate, self-taught guitar style with a versatile and expressive singing voice. He has established himself as a formidable creator and interpreter of a wide spectrum of songs in English and Spanish. His own material explores a variety of personal and social topics, paints sketches of people and places, celebrates the Earth, and annoys the narrow minded.
Born and raised in Costa Rica, Dean Stevens is a lifelong student of Latin America. He learned Spanish at an early age, and readily absorbed the musical and topical influences of the region. He travels frequently to Central America, and has become known for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of refugees returning to their homes in El Salvador and Guatemala.
Dean has five highly acclaimed recordings to his credit. His last release, “At Last” (Volcano Records), is a collection of songs in English and Spanish, with guest appearances by Aoife O’Donovan, Eric Kilburn, Billie Novick and many others.
About The Living Room Coffee House
For over 10 years, it has been our goal to create a wholesome relaxing atmosphere for people to gather, listen, and perform music, poetry, and the spoken word. Our stage is set for you to perform in front of a supportive audience. A $5 donation is suggested. Donations support the local St Vincent De Paul food pantry.
Coffee, tea, water, soda, and juices are available, as well as popcorn and a variety of yummy baked goods from our kitchen. As always, there is no charge for snacks.
How it works
Doors open at 6:30 pm and all are welcome to sit, relax, meet and mingle. Performers (music, poetry, spoken word) are encouraged to sign up for one of the 15-minute slots. Sign-up is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Performances start at 7:00 p.m.
Each month we schedule a feature performer that is given a 30- 40 minute time slot at around 8:00 p.m.
Equipment
We have a PA and four microphones available. We also have the very loved and in tune upright grand piano named “Rose”. If you are a piano player, you will love the warmth that Rose has to offer.
