The Franklin MidWinter Coffeehouse returns for its 10th anniversary in a new venue: The New Arts Center. Join us on for folk music, coffee, wine, and light refreshments. This year's performers include Franklin parent and professional singer/songwriter Catie Curtis, Franklin parents Shira Doron, Pam McA'Nulty, and Cindy Mapes, former Franklin parent Rob Siegel, and other Franklin community and friends. This venue is small, so purchase your tickets early ($15 in advance, $20 at the door if available).

Catie Curtis (http://www.catiecurtis.com/) has been a fan favorite on the acoustic music scene for a number of years now. Her well-deserved reputation as one of our very best singer/songwriters has followed her through nine critically-acclaimed recordings. With her tenth and newest project, Hello Stranger, released in August 2009, she gifts her loyal fan base and entices new listeners with a recording that captures some of the magic of her live performances. With the help of her Nashville-based record label, Compass Records, she selected a few of Nashville's best musicians to make an album featuring fiddle, mandolin and banjo as well as acoustic guitar.

Curtis has created a dedicated following that has grown steadily over the course of her 15-year career. With her live shows, film and tv placements, the 2006 International Songwriting Competition Grand Prize, and now the Hello Stranger string-band project, Curtis has proven that she's the real deal: a musician with the kind of raw talent and artistic maturity that makes her a force to be reckoned with, albeit a sweet force.

Other performers include Ensemble Coolment, Pamela McA'Nulty and Don Levey, 'The Weekend Band', and Marian Rambelle
