The host for December’s Coffee House will be Tyler Hughes. Tyler is an old-time musician and educator from Big Stone Gap in the mountains of Southwest, Virginia. He has traveled close to home and internationally playing banjo tunes and singing songs from the Virginia coalfields. He has appeared on NPR, PBS, and WSM’s Grand Ole Opry. An advocate for passing on the region’s music to the next generation, he can often be found teaching banjo and square dancing at Mountain Empire Community College or at one of the many Junior Appalachian Musicians programs across the mountains

Come hear music, poetry, and stories from some of the community's best performers. All interested musicians, storytellers and poets should arrive by 6:30 p.m. for sign-up and scheduling.
