Ascension Coffee House, Friday March 12th

Ascension Coffee House will feature guest artist, Gene Brigham, on March 12th. Gene is a singer/songwriter from Rome, Georgia. He has been performing in the Coosa Valley area and beyond since 1986. Gene toured the southern US with Deeper, a band he co-founded, from 1993 to 1995. Two of the band's original songs, “Would Give Anything” and “Rainy Day Sunday,” found airtime on college radio stations around the US in 1995. A disc of original material, “Outside Looking In,” was released in 2002. This varied compilation includes the song “Coosa,” for which he has received some local notoriety. Gene is also a founding member of the Rome Area Songwriter's Association, a group of independent singer/songwriters from northwest Georgia.

Rick McKee will continue to serve as host and offer his original songs at the coffee house. Rick is a singer/songwriter, composer, music educator, and multi-instrumentalist from Cartersville. He has released two albums on the Cosmic Possum label.
