SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House - Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Some of the most memorable nights at Two Way Street are Open Mic nights. \nFor more than 55 years\, musicians and music lovers have gathered at Two Way Street Coffee House to share songs\, discover new talent\, and celebrate live acoustic music. \nYou never know who will walk through the door—seasoned performers\, first-time songwriters\, touring artists trying out new material\, or community favorites returning to share a song. Every Open Mic is different\, but each one offers an evening of great music\, surprises\, and community. \nJoin us Friday\, October 2\, 2026\, for our quarterly Open Mic as part of the Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series. \n\nSign-ups begin at 7:30 PM (CT) when doors open. The show starts at 8:00 PM (CT).\nEach performer may present two songs\, approximately 6–10 minutes total.\nBecause these evenings are so popular\, performance slots may be limited.\n\nWhether you’re performing or simply coming to listen\, all are welcome. If you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually. Visit www.twowaystreet.org for livestream information and additional details. \nWhy We Love Open Mic Nights \nMany artists who have gone on to headline the Two Way Street stage first shared songs in rooms just like this one. Open Mic Night continues that tradition—offering a welcoming place for musicians to connect\, experiment\, and be heard. \nCome be part of the story.

SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House - Heritage Matinee Series
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Matinee Series\nMark Dvorak • Ashley & Simpson • James Curley • Tom Orland\nSunday\, October 4\, 2026 • 3:00 PM\nDoors open at 2:30 PM\nSpend a Sunday afternoon with us at the Two Way Street Coffee House for another installment of our Heritage Matinee Series\, bringing together four distinctive voices from the Chicago-area folk and songwriting community. \nSeries regulars Mark Dvorak and Ashley & Simpson will be joined by James Curley and Tom Orland for an afternoon of songs\, stories\, harmonies\, humor\, and the musical traditions that keep folk music alive and evolving. \nThe Heritage Matinee Series is also a benefit for Two Way Street Coffee House. 100% of free-will donations support our programming and operations\, helping us continue bringing live folk and acoustic music to our community. \nMark Dvorak\nMark Dvorak is a modern-day troubadour whose music draws deeply from the American folk tradition. A performer\, songwriter\, teacher\, guitarist\, and banjo player\, Mark has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer” and praised for his encyclopedic knowledge of traditional song. \nHis performances move easily between traditional folk\, country blues\, selections from the Great American Songbook\, audience sing-alongs\, and his own carefully crafted originals. Whether on a festival stage or in an intimate listening room\, Mark has a gift for making an audience feel like part of the music. \nAshley & Simpson\nJennifer Ashley and Joel Simpson bring rich vocal harmonies\, traditional songs\, and thoughtful arrangements to their distinctive folk sound. Drawing on classical backgrounds while incorporating elements of jazz\, popular music\, and contemporary influences\, the duo approaches traditional material with both respect for its roots and a willingness to make it their own. \nTheir album Off To Here Land features an all-traditional song list reimagined through the duo’s signature harmonies and arrangements. \nJames Curley\nThe Singular Songwriter \nJames Curley has spent more than 50 years as a fan\, performer\, songwriter\, and instrumentalist in the folk and roots music community\, primarily in Chicago. As a solo artist\, he has opened for performers including Ellis Paul\, Dan Navarro\, Happy Traum\, and Patty Larkin\, while also fronting bands including Radio Fade\, Earnest & Troubled\, and The James Curley Band. \nHis three recordings\, released between 2001 and 2012\, produced several award-winning songs and continue to receive international radio airplay. A member of Folk Alliance since 2003 and a member of the FARM Board of Directors since 2024\, James returns to recording this fall with his first new album in 14 years. \nTom Orland\nAward-winning songwriter and Emmy-winning filmmaker Tom Orland brings quick wit\, an original point of view\, and an authentic performance style to the Heritage Matinee stage. \nTom has performed at venues including Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe\, Victory Gardens Theater\, Davenport’s Piano Bar & Cabaret\, and the Chicago Cultural Center.
