Start your year right with live music! On Saturday evening, January 18, the Open Book Coffeehouse will feature singer/songwriter Grace Morrison at the Canton Public Library, 786 Washington Street, Canton. Doors open at 6:45 PM; music starts at 7:30 PM. Admission is $14 for the general public and $7 for students of any age. Tickets are available that evening on a first come, first serve basis. (cash or checks).
Grace Morrison has never allowed others to define her. Over the course of her prolific career, she’s released three exceedingly well received albums — I’m the Apple (2017), Reasons (2019) and Daughter (2021), each of which testify to her artistry and her acumen.
Grace’s talents have led to her Grand Prize wins at the New England Songwriting Competition and the WPRI Rhode Show Big Break contest. As a result, both of those wins were key to her music video being played on the season finale of “American Idol,” her recognition as an Official Showcase performer at both the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance and the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance in 2019, her finalist standing in the Wildflower (TX) Festival performing singer-songwriter contest, and her selection to perform as part of the Emerging Artist Showcase at the famed Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
Mark your calendar for Jan. 18 now to hear Grace Morrison, with a sound that Americana Highways calls “Pure Country Rock ‘n Roll Goodness.”
Enjoy the relaxing, warm atmosphere of friendly people, good music, coffee, tea, and home baked goodies. The Open Book Coffeehouse is located in the community room of the Canton Public Library at 786 Washington Street, Canton, and is made possible by the Friends of the Library. Parking is to the left when facing the library from Washington Street. Enter by the “Special Events” door to the left of the columns, midway into the parking area.

The New Revival Coffeehouse is pleased to present national touring musicians Emma’s Revolution on April 5, 2025.
Known for fearless, truth-telling lyrics and melodies you can’t resist singing, Emma’s Revolution is the dynamic, award-winning activist duo of Pat Humphries & Sandy O. The duo are in their 20th year performing together. Emma’s Revolution’s songs have traveled around the world and have been sung for the Dalai Lama, praised by Pete Seeger and covered by Holly Near.
With one eye on the news, Emma’s Revolution consistently writes songs about critical issues happening in the world and enthusiastically lends their voices to the movements those issues inspire.
As independent artists and queer and non-conforming women, Emma’s Revolution has a national presence among communities, organizations and venues that share the duo’s vision of valuing people over profit, choosing compassion over violence, demanding accountability, and building a more just and sustainable world.
The New York Times praised Emma’s music as “fervent and heart-felt.” Deb Andersen of The Wimmin’s Show, KZUM, described it as “beauty, power and ferocity all mixed together with love and hope.”
The New Revival Coffeehouse is located at First Parish Church of Stow & Acton, 353 Great Road, Stow MA. Tickets are $20 in advance at EventBrite. and $25 on the day of the show. Doors open at 7:00 and the concert begins at 7:30.
