River Road Coffeehouse on 21st Street in Newark will host Kevin Dean Friday, January 29 from 7 to 8:30 PM.

Whether he’s exciting current fans with new material or silencing a noisy venue full of strangers, it is safe to say that singer-songwriter Kevin Dean makes an impact on every listener that he encounters. Trained in classical music from a young age, Kevin has spent the last few years applying his formal training to his passion for popular music at both Ohio State University and Berklee College of Music. The resulting sound has already caught the attention of listeners in cities such as Los  Angeles, Boston and Nashville, as well as his hometown of Columbus.

His catchy melodies and recognizable voice are a perfect compliment to his pop-folk songwriting.

Special Student Happy Hours

to Benefit NHS Music Programs…

River Road Coffeehouse on 21st Street in Newark will host special 3 to 6 pm “Student Happy Hours” the week of October 5 thru 11 (Monday thru Sunday) to help raise funds for the Newark High School music programs. Here’s the fine print…

$2.00 Lattes:  Hot, Frozen or Over Ice

Yep…all students and former students (hey…let’s not leave teachers and parents out!) are eligible to stop by from 3-6 pm and enjoy any of our great medium size lattes (hot, frozen or over ice) for just $2. All of our combo flavor lattes are included…oh yes…the River Road Mocha!!!!

And??? What about the Music Programs?

Each student/former student will be given a special notecard to designate a $1 contribution from the coffeehouse to one of the three music programs (Choir, Band and Orchestra) The customer will also be given the option to “name” a student on the card who encouraged their participation. (Of course, we will also accept extra contributions for the music programs!)  At the end of the week, we will tally the cards and make a contribution to each of the three music programs AND give a $25 Gift Card to the student most frequently listed on the notecards!
