GREENVILLE — Darke County Center for the Arts 2024-2025 Coffee House Series will open Thursday, Oct.17 when singer/songwriter Diana Chittester performs at Beanz Buttercream Bakery and Eatery in Greenville. The Cleveland-area artist, also a gifted guitar player, has opened for Lyle Lovett, Joan Osborne, Gin Blossoms, and others and been a guest performer at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. “Diana Chittester’s acoustic solo performance will fill the room with raw power, elegance, and intelligence,” said DCCA Artistic Director David Warner. “Her great energy captures everyone’s attention as her songs tell stories that connect with audiences; this will be a great show,” Warner continued. The performance starts at 7 p.m.
According to Warner, DCCA’s Coffee House Series was created to present first-rate performing artists in small comfortable venues where audiences are given the opportunity to sample appealing food offerings, all at an affordable cost. Upcoming performances throughout the season include Zydeco legend Terrance Simien at Montage Cafe on Nov. 7, Celtic Album of the Year award-winner Siusan O’Rourke at The Coffee Pot on Dec. 5, local favorite Doug Hamilton and his String Trio at Arcanum ‘s Wayne Trail Historical Society on April 10, and the exotic Russian Duo at Union City Arts Depot on May 8.
