The IVY CHORD Coffee House is an evening of acoustic music and entertainment.  Since 1999, the IVY CHORD Coffee House has presented both local musicians and musicians from afar.  The music is eclectic, to say the least, ranging from passionate Celtic ballads, stirring stories, to humorous anecdotes.  The IVY CHORD Coffee House specializes in music from the heart -- vocal and instrumental music about everyday life.
