Come help us celebrate THREE occasions in one!  To commemorate the Our Times Coffeehouse’s 18th anniversary, multiple national award-winning singer songwriter, Long Island’s own Patricia Shih will be appearing in a very rare area appearance at the Our Times Coffeehouse on the SECOND Friday of the month on June 13th at 8:00 pm.  Loved and respected nationally as a warm and witty performer for young people and their grown-ups, this night Patricia will be singing her original songs for “the taller set.”

Patricia was honored when Our Times invited her to be the very first performer at the debut of the fledgling coffeehouse in 1990.  Over the past 18 years of the coffeehouse’s existence she has performed with her band, for a fundraiser for the coffeehouse, and in support of other musicians.  She is delighted to be returning to where it all began!

It is also a celebration of her 40th year as a professional musician!  She and her husband /accompanist Stephen Fricker will be performing songs from almost the entire span.
