Be Be, a Colorado song writer / musician, performs at the Arvada coffee shop La Dolche Vita on the 4th Sunday of each month. Whereas, she used to play the Banjo with Moses Walker in this time slot, she now gets to play guitar and sing a myriad of songs she’s written over the past several decades. “I get to play my favorite songs from 10 am till 1 pm, and when that time is up I still haven’t played all the songs I’ve written.”
If you were to take the following songwriters and blend them all together you would get to hear the type of music that Be writes. James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Justin Hayward, Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney, Jessie Colin Young, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and many more. These are songs that never have been produced and are for a future generation.
Periodically Be also integrates her sets with recordings of Moses and plays Banjo in memory of him. Although an accomplished musician she is also the author of, The Be Attitudes, A Woman’s View of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and her latest book called The Great Urantia Agreement which highlights an important quote from the URANTIA Book.
Be, a Vietnam Navy Veteran is also a Doctor of Divinity is and an ordained minister through the Church of the Universal Light. She has read the URANTIA Book page by page and cover to cover 10 times and if you know anything about the URANTIA Book you’ll know that is quite an amazing feat.
Be Be is the inventor and manufacturer of the Suspendulum®, an Aerial Dance Tripod which affords aerial dancers all over the world to perform their silk dancing while hanging from the Suspendulum®. The rig is in over 22 countries.
Please come out to enjoy some very beautiful and meaningful songs as well as musical poetry which stimulate the imagination.

The format will be everyone gets to lead a song and we will go around to each person, also maybe passing a mic, but no plug-in otherwise. All folk style instruments are welcome. Get your folk music lists ready and we will try to keep the era of music to 70’s and older but most songs are welcome, even acoustic versions of newer material. All levels of play are welcome (try to keep with the chords/notes/rhythm of the songs. Performance songs are also welcome.
If you do not have an acoustic instrument we might have an extra. Message the host for more info.
Please remember we will have two hours to play so try to keep the song breaks to a minimum. This is inside to keep in mind there will be limited space but no limit on players.

Soda Blue is a dynamic duet comprised of partners Alice Frish and David Fermanich. Friends for over 30 years, Alice and Dave share a chemistry that comes across well on stage. Technically a ‘cover’ musical act with a focus on high energy pop and smokey R&B, their joking and overall sense of fun turns their show into something more than just music.

If this band were to choose a different name that was equally as fitting, it would have been It’s Been a Long Time Coming. But that’s too long. The Long Run? Taken. EndsNOdds came together slowly and in an unexpected way which is exactly how they arrange their favorite R&B, Americana, Rock, and Pop covers; with thought and creativity, adding unexpected elements in each song making them their own.

Patty Jackson’s angelic voice, her stunning finger style guitar licks, the sweet sound of her ukulele, and the funked-up chords of her minty green baritone guitar. Patty’s musical style is a unique fusion of folk, rock, and country with a touch of jazz. Born in central New York, Patty was given some Joan Baez tickets when she was 15 years old, and that changed the trajectory of her life. She was bitten by the music bug and over the years she formed several bands, cutting her teeth on bar gigs. She soon started playing the college circuit, folk clubs, and coffeehouses in New England and New York with her band, Wildfire. In addition to performing around town, the band also played for Hillary Clinton during her run for senator from New York. In 2004, Patty moved to Colorado and joined Resonance, The Women’s Chorus of Boulder. There she met bandmates who formed the group, Somethin’ About Lulu. That trio played up and down the Front Range for 10 years, before Patty launched her solo performances

Pennies on the Track
2024-06-29 19:00 - 22:00
Pennies on the Track leans into harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, playing their unique mix of Americana, Folk, and Bluegrass. At home on Colorado’s Front Range, this acoustic band fits nicely around campfires and festival stages. Pennies brings lush vocals and a wide variety of acoustic instruments to their original music and covers of some Americana’s greatest; something for everybody.
The Pennies began as a trio of singer/songwriters – Brian Good, Jack Keith, and Neil Sperandeo – and became a quintet in 2021, joined by Morgan Carlson’s exquisite violin and songwriter Alex Harrison’s euphonic voice and cello. These 5 friends play for the love of making music together, and that enjoyment reaches out to anyone listening.
