Darke County Center for the Arts will present
guitarist/singer/songwriter Diana Chittester at The Coffee Pot in
downtown Greenville on Thursday, April 25; the final presentation of
DCCA’s 2018-2019 Coffeehouse Series season, the show starts at 7 p.m.
“Diana blends intricate finger-picking guitar style with her
intelligent, articulate lyrics to share captivating stories in her
songs,” stated DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Even though this
is an acoustic solo performance, audiences will be amazed at the raw
yet elegant power Diana brings to her concerts, her natural versatility
and wide vocal range making her delivery exceedingly appealing and
listenable,” Rawlins said.
The Cleveland-based artist has been described as “kinda folk with a
funky punk edge,” and compared to singer/songwriters Joni Mitchell and
Ani DeFranco. According to Mr. Rawlins, Diana Chittester developed her
signature guitar style by imitating a three-piece band while touring as
a solo performer. “Her unique sound utilizing percussive thumping,
popping bass lines, and melodic picking patterns garnered attention,
enhancing her stature as she gained acclaim around the country,”
Rawlins remarked.
DCCA’s Coffeehouse Series which presents artists performing in an
inviting social setting where food and drink are also available is
sponsored by Rodney Oda, Steve and Eileen Litchfield, and The
Andersons. Additionally, 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, Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial
Trust Fund, and the John R. and Miriam H. Knick Fund of Darke County
Foundation. DCCA membership contributions also help support this series.
