Whether you’re looking to workshop a new project, test out a skill, or just get comfortable on stage, Open Mic Night is a chance to share what you’re working on. From live music and spoken word to comedy and instrumentals, all performances are welcome. Come to perform, collaborate, or just hang out and hear what others are creating. For those interested, professional local artists will be on-site to offer support and ideas, only for those who request.

Teen Night is a series of free arts and culture events exclusively for ages 13–18. Local teens take over TACAW, on stage and in the audience, for a night all their own. This night is for teens only: ages 13–18 invited.

"One of the best emotional mediums in the field of solo guitar" - Pitchfork

Back for her second performance at the Bross!

Hailed by The New Yorker as "one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation", Portland, Oregon based Marisa Anderson channels the history of the guitar and stretches the boundaries of tradition. With six solo albums and a rich history of collaboration with artists including drummer Jim White of Dirty Three fame, guitarist William Tyler, Sharon Van Etten, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Big Brave, she is a sought-after collaborator and composer.

Her work has been featured in Billboard, Rolling Stone, NPR, SPIN, Pitchfork, the BBC and The Wire. Festival appearances include Big Ears, Pitchfork Midwinter, Le Guess Who and the Copenhagen Jazz Festival.

This intimate performance from a living legend of instrumental music - both electric and acoustic - is sure to be a season highlight.

Classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan presents his latest album "Guitar America", an exploration of the United States’ musical history. From "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful" to Paul Simon’s "America" and Eddie Van Halen’s "316", Larget-Caplan journeys through the soundscapes of a diverse nation, exploring its ideals and contradictions, and its reinventions and dreams. Weather permitting, the concert will take place on the library's back lawn, so bring your lawn chairs and picnic supplies and come enjoy some music!

This session will focus on the mechanics of songwriting. Jan & JD will guide participants through exercises designed to build songwriting skills and spark creativity. We hope you’ll join us for their follow-up workshop on July 21, where participants will have the opportunity to share their songs and receive feedback.

She joined Dirt Band for their historic 1977 Soviet Tour and was later listed in the Rolling Stone “Who’s Who in Rock & Roll.” Jan’s songs have won multiple awards in the world of positive music, and have been arranged, published and widely distributed by Cypress Music, a Canadian choral music company. JD Martin is an acclaimed songwriter of 5 Number One and 10 Top Ten country and pop hit singles. His songs have been recorded by such luminaries as Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, B.J. Thomas, Peter Cetera, and the Oak Ridge Boys. He has won over 15 ASCAP awards for excellence in songwriting in Nashville and LA.

Come together in song! All ages welcome, no singing experience needed, we will sing simple songs that can be learned in the moment :-) Free community event!

Born, raised, shaped, and inspired by his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana, Andrew Duhon tours performing songs that are as much about recognizing our shared stories as they are about telling his own.

Rounding out the touring trio are two of his most trusted collaborators—Myles Weeks (James Hunter Six, Eric Lindell) on bass and Jim Kolacek (Feufollett) on drums.

Blending the gritty, bluesy, folksy, country sounds of his home with the experience of traversing the country and immersing himself in the broad array of cultures across the American landscape, Andrew’s music creates real connection between former strangers through song. As he puts it, “When a song written by a stranger heals you, even in the smallest way, that’s a connection beyond entertainment.”

Andrew has shared stages with Guster, Blind Pilot, and Amos Lee, among others, and has performed at major festivals across the US including New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Milwaukee Summerfest, Bonnaroo, and Americanafest.

His music has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, Jam In The Van, Meat Church, as well as in Glide Magazine, No Depression, and American Songwriter.
