38 Old Country Road, Garden City, New York

Special Performance:
Mike Tedesco &
Kirsten Maxwell as a Duo
Friday, March 17 at 8 PM

Taking the stage on Friday, March 17 at Our Times Coffeehouse will be Mike Tedesco and Kirsten Maxwell, performing as a duo. Since 2015, Tedesco has been a member of the legendary New York Songwriter’s Circle, whose alumni include such notables as Norah Jones and Lana Del Rey. Kirsten Maxwell is also a songwriter, and her stunningly pure voice has drawn comparisons to Joan Baez, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell.

Seeing these two super talented performers working together in the intimate setting of a coffeehouse will be a real treat for the audience. Tedesco’s most recently released six-song EP, called “Put To Rest,” consists of meticulous piano playing, heartfelt lyrics and rich vocals that showcase Tedesco’s keen storytelling abilities. Huntington native Maxwell was a winner of the 2016 South Florida Folk Festival Singer-Songwriter Competition. “It was love at first listen!” declared Joltin’ Joe of Radio Nowhere On WMSC. “Not just Kirsten’s gorgeous voice but her well-crafted songs about the intricacies of love and relationships.”
