Upcoming

coffeehouse offers jazz and celtic music

Offshoot Productions

has announced that the Saturday, Nov. 4 Stars on the Southern Crescent

coffeehouse will feature Emerald Rose, a Celtic band from north Georgia.

Jennifer Perry

and her musicians, who have previously performed jazz, swing, torch and

bebop at Stars , have appeared at Atlanta area venues as diverse as the

Freight Room, the Red Light Cafe, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, the Marriott

Lenox, the Country Club of Roswell, the Gwinnett History Museum Coffeehouse,

and Underground Atlanta, where they opened for Blood, Sweat & Tears.

Perry recently received a call from the Recording Academy that their song,

"Everybody's Got to Swing," has been nominated for a Grammy.

She says that "Being the first time, I'm not holding my breath to

make the finals, but it's still exciting."

The other group

on the coffee house bill, the popular Emerald Rose from north Georgia

is rapidly gaining a following for its Celtic music. "Emerald Rose

is an incredible band," said Offshoot artistic director Susan M.

Steadman, Ph.D. "Their CD offers tremendous variety and range, and

their reputation is first-class." The group is appearing at Stars

for the first time.

The coffeehouse,

which successfully initiated its 2000-2001 season Sept. 23, is now situated

at the LaFayette Educational Center, 205 LaFayette Avenue, just northwest

of the Courthouse Square.

Doors open

at 7:45 p.m., and the show begins at 8:15.

General admission

is $7 ($5 for senior citizens and children under 12).

Patrons who

bring their mugs from home are eligible for discount.
