[JakeShows] Espresso Yourself CoffeeHouse in Medfield, and PROVIDENCE FOLK FESTIVAL!! (plus a note about Harry Potter)

[Jacob Haller]

Hi all,

I hope you’re all having a good summer — I’ve managed to get some good time in at the beach!

There are a couple of exciting things going on this month!  The biggest news is probably the return of the Providence Folk Festival, which is happening from noon to sixish on Sunday August 28th.  It’s a completely free day of great music, and, for the third year, I’ve been put in charge of assembling the lineup for one of the stages!

The details are below, but I also wanted to make a special note that the Providence Folk Festival is funded in part by an Indiegogo campaign.  If you have the money to spare, I would encourage you to consider donating a little something to it!  The campaign’s can be found at:

The night before the festival, I’ll also be the featured act at an open mike at my friend Eva’s church in Medfield, which I think will be a lot of fun!  They have a different theme every month, and the theme this month is ‘Cats & Dogs’, so I imagine you have an idea of what some of the songs that will make up my set will be.  :-)


Finally, this doesn’t have anything to do with music at all, but I’m guessing that at least some of you have read the new Harry Potter book (‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’), so I thought I would mention that my friend Carrie and me recorded our first impressions in a special episode of our ‘Love YA Like Crazy’ podcast.  You can listen to it at

or anyplace you can listen to podcasts.  Our discussion does include both spoilers and swearing.


With all that out of the way, here are the details about this month’s shows:

I'll be the featured act at this open mike that focusses on poetry, stories, and songs. There is a theme every month, with this month's being 'Cats & Dogs'. Refreshments will be served, and teenagers and adults are welcomed.
