Open Mike Featuring Charlie Koch

On the third Saturday of each month, the DubHub hosts a combined Coffee House & Open Mic, now at a new time, from 6:30 - 9:30pm. A monthly coffee sponsor provides the java, and sweet and savory snacks are available. Attendees are also welcome to BYOB. A featured performance takes place for about 45–60 minutes, with open mic slots available prior.

This month, we are delighted to feature accomplished singer-songwriter Charlie Koch. Charlie has had a variety of life experiences to draw from for inspiration in his songs. He trained horses, sailed across the Atlantic more than once, and fronted an R&B band. He skippered a race boat for Buckminster Fuller. He whipped in for a fox hunt in Ireland and saddle-broke young horses on a breeding farm in France. He taught tennis, skiing, and horseback riding. He trained as a body-oriented psychotherapist. These days, he tours playing bass for his wife, singer/songwriter Cosy Sheridan. In his first CD, Help Me To Believe, Charlie sings of his father, who was also a sailor, and of his longing for a place to call home. His love songs are heartfelt. His melodies are influenced by such diverse writers as Otis Redding, Ray Charles, and James Taylor. His guitar playing has roots in soulful country blues.

Email to reserve a spot on the open mic sign-up, or just show up that evening to try your luck at finding an available spot on the list. A suggested donation starting at $5 or more can be given at the door to help offset costs, and a hat will be passed during the performance for contributions to the featured performer(s).
