- **Event Name**: North Reading Community Coffeehouse March Showcase
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The North Reading Community Coffeehouse is proud to present a very special March, 2026 Showcase on Saturday, March 21 at 6:30. We are paying tribute to Bill Staines.  Bill was a major figure in American Folk Music as a singer-songwriter for over 50 years.  He travelled and toured constantly, doing 150- 200 shows a year.  He was a very humble, low-key person who always made himself available.  He recorded about 25 albums and was called by the late Nanci Griffith "the Woodie Guthrie of my generation."  Some of his more well-known songs are "Bridges", "Crossing the Water", "My Sweet Wyoming Home", "The Roseville Fair",  "A Place in the Choir", "Child of Mine" and "River".  His songs have been recorded by many other artists.  In addition, Bill was instrumental in helping get the North Reading Community Coffeehouse up and running with a concert in 2017, which to date was our best-attended event by far.

The performers for the evening are Eddie Dee with Holly Turner on piano and Chris Moriarty on cello; Val Fowler and Art Grossman.  This is going to be a very entertaining evening and one we have been looking forward to for a long time..  .
The event is free but donations will be gratefully accepted and we will be offering refreshments with all the proceeds going to the Friends of the Flint Memorial Library in North Reading with whom we will be doing these concerts in conjunction with, to help support the library.
The event will also be livestreamed on the North Reading Community Coffeehouse Facebook page and on the YouTube channel the following day!  The links to those two places are:
