Music
Not Just Another Coffeehouse features talented musicians from the Greater Boston area. We strive to bring an eclectic mix of musical styles, including traditional folk, jazz, and world music. But, in keeping with our focus of bringing the community together around music and conversation, we try to focus on music that has broad appeal.

Conversation
Conversation Café is an international movement, started after 9/11 by author Vicki Robin fostering coffeehouse meetings on a regular basis for interesting communication about relevant issues amongst strangers in the Socratic tradition of respectful dialogue. Conversation Cafes started in Seattle after 9/11. Conversation Cafés are open, hosted conversations. At a Conversation Cafe there is nothing to join, no homework, no agenda, just a simple process that helps to shift us from small talk to BIG talk - conversations that matter. Participation is optional.

| Pendragon |
 |
|
New England has long had a rich tradition of Celtic-inspired music. Looking forward to their 29th anniversary in 2012, Pendragon has embraced that tradition and created a timeless sound of its own, performing roots music with an unmistakable contemporary edge. Pendragon's music celebrates the lives and lore of generations of New Englanders who brought traditions from Ireland, Scotland, French Canada and other distant shores to the banks of the Blackstone River.

| The Gnomes |
 |
|
The Gnomes each bring an enormous wealth of musical knowledge, musicianship, creativity, and fun to their performances. Their live shows are upbeat and never fail to get folks on their feet, moving and grooving! They'll go from a traditional tune into a tango, or a piece of music that makes you feel like you just stepped off a dirt road in Ireland to a sidewalk cafe in France. The Gnomes concerts also have plenty of songs interspersed with their instrumental music. Pete Breen wails on everything from Reggae to Gospel while playing his bass; Otis Read, a gifted singer-songwriter plays rhythm and lead guitar; Cathy Clasper-Torch is a fiddler, pianist and Harmony Queen; Phil Edmonds, a master Irish whistle-player and button accordion, also writes much of The Gnomes' original music; while Ron Schmitt is a a phenomenal World Beat and dance percussionist. |
