We had an excellent birthday party last month. And next month we will celebrate Spring. But this month, we are welcoming a wonderful singer/songwriter to serenade us.

Colette O'Connor, has been touring/traveling and performing since 2012. Her music is a delightful blend of sunshine, kindness-philosophy, and fun New England wit. She has made her debut as a composer of neoclassical orchestral music. She has a timeless style that melds genres, from jazzy-blues to Americana/folk, woven together by guitar. A seasoned performer, Colette has become regularly featured on community radio and television from New England to Nebraska. Her second album I Think I Am was named top in 2016 by NPR station WICN FM 90.5, Worcester, and was nominated for Best CD 2017 Award at Worcester Music Awards. To combat war, with music, Colette works as an emissary/ organizer for Musician's without Borders and coordinates "World Music Day" concert/ fundraising events on their behalf.

 “Colette is a visionary who sings because she must and because she does, all who hear her are filled with light and wonder.”

 The Expresso Yourself Coffeehouse is an opportunity for spoken word artists to share their poetry, stories, and songs. It is held the last Saturday of every month at 7pm at First Parish Unitarian Universalist, Medfield, MA. Refreshments are served. Come and join in the fun, either to enjoy as an audience member or to participate. Open mic readers have 5 minutes to share. Teens and adults welcome.
