Coffee House Live @ St. Andrew's (Houston, TX) is so very pleased to welcome back the fantabulous SARA HICKMAN, on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023!  We (kinda) coaxed Sara out of "performance retirement" back in early 2019.  This great singer/songwriter/artist is one of our all-time faves, and we're super happy to have her return to wrap up our 10th anniversary season.

MORE DETAILS

"Coffee House LIVE!" is a community outreach effort of St. Andrew's.  Everyone is welcome!

Several times throughout the year, we will "open" the coffee house for an evening to present live entertainment -- primarily various kinds of eclectic music from bands and/or solo artists, as well as perhaps other forms of entertainment, such as poetry, comedy, etc. We intend to host a variety of local, regional, national, and international artists.  Although this is a church outreach effort, all entertainment is completely secular (not religious-based).

We serve coffee and snacks.  You are also welcome to bring your own food & (non-alcoholic) drink, if desired.

The Warren Family Center (within St. Andrew's) is warmly intimate and acoustically balanced, allowing artists to connect with you -- the audience -- and showcase their talent. Tables and chairs are plentiful, and there is not a bad seat/view in the room.

There is never a cover charge to enter. However, donations (to help offset costs of artists and refreshments) are welcomed. These events are expected to last no longer than 90 minutes or so, providing you an "early evening" distraction.  All ages are welcome, including well behaved kids (and adults).  Children are to be accompanied by an adult.  Please supervise your kiddos, and keep in mind that this is a "listener-focused" room.

At these events, you will also have an opportunity to learn more about St. Andrew's, if you so desire.

Seating is 1st come / 1st served, with doors opening 30 minutes prior to the show.

WHAT SETS US APART

  • Alternative listening venue (family friendly)
  • Intimate concert experience
  • Artists connect with the audience
  • Artist meet n' greet possible
  • Casual, relaxed, and no $ required

OTHER "RULES" AND REQUESTS

We expect that, for most shows, you may photograph and/or record in a limited fashion, as long as it is not disruptive to the patrons or talent.  Some artists MAY impose restrictions on recording/photography -- these details will be posted for each show accordingly.
