Darke County Center for the Arts
DCCA’s
Coffeehouse series closes with Acoustic Duo
Darke County Center for the Arts will close this season's Coffeehouse
Series on Thursday, April 21, at Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville
with a show featuring acoustic duo Alex Poteet and Noah Cope playing
American roots music blended with rock and pop. According to DCCA
Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, “Noah and Alex” had been involved in
several musical projects before teaming up in 2013 after finding common
ground in a love of great songwriters both past and present. “Their
influences include Ray LaMontagne, Jackson Brown, John Mayer, and Glen
Campbell,” Mr. Rawlins explained. “They cover memorable music by
timeless artists to perform an engaging, entertaining show that will
please audiences of all ages,” Rawlins concluded.
Noah Cope is not new to DCCA audiences, having played previously in the
Coffeehouse performance by Wingwalkers a few years ago as well as
accompanying popular songstress Lisa Biales in her appearances in
Greenville. Exhibiting his eclectic talents, Noah also toured
nationally for several years as the upright bassist in the pit
orchestra for The Phantom of the Opera. Alex Poteet, who says that he
was originally influenced by blues and folk greats, has been playing
music professionally since the age of eighteen. Now in his early
twenties, Alex is currently writing original material for a planned
upcoming album.
DCCA's Coffeehouse Series presents performances in congenial venues
with a casual social atmosphere where food and drink are also available
for purchase. The series is sponsored by Julie and Tom Graber, Eileen
and Steve Litchfield, and Rodney Oda. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund
this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
Tickets for the performance by “Noah and Alex” cost $10, and can be
reserved by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or dcca@centerforarts.net,
or purchased at DCCA's office located within Greenville Public Library
as well as online at www.CenterForArts.net. If any remain by showtime,
tickets will also be available at the door. The show starts at 7 p.m.
