Local musicians Noska, Sweet Papa Dave, Mabel’s Missing, and more will play at the coffee shop and wine bar.

For the third year in a row the event is introducing an 18-hour Songwriters Challenge. Songwriters who choose to participate are given 18 hours to write a song based on a chosen theme. They are invited back at 2 p.m. Sunday to perform and be judged by audience members. Winners will receive prizes.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for a reduced rate at the Local Blend or are available at the door. Regular business at the shop will be available throughout the weekend too.

The weekend kicks off at 5 p.m. Friday with performances from Adam Hammer and Dave Cofell, and ends Sunday after the Songwriters Challenge and open mic.
