Oh lucky West Enders! We have three great opportunities to see the incredible talents that reside in the West End Neighborhood…. and all shows are within walking distance… or at least close by.

June 11th, Friday at 8:30 p.m.- Live music at Aroma Roasters: Mike Ehlers Band with special guest Ken Risling.  Mike Ehlers moves from eco-folk-rap to pop, from alt-country to mellow grooves, from story-folk-with-a-punch to ballads born in the depths of a quieted gratitude. Hear Mike Ehlers “Use Less”. West End’s Ken Risling has played many instruments in many genres. He began writing in earnest at the tender age of 45. His songs have won numerous awards and airplay. Hear ” Ken Risling “Gentle Rain”

See Ken Risling perform!
