Thanks to graphic artist Luzia Wietshorke for designing our latest Deep Cove Coffee House poster.
Here is super-volunteer Jane Osborne’s mailout for the September 20th, 2024 Deep Cove Coffee House:
“Welcome to a wonderful line up of music to open our fall 2024 season hosted by our local luminary, John Lyon! This month’s Friday, September 20th coffee house event features the Ally Jedrzejek Trio at 9pm. We have two terrific warm-up acts for you: John Lyon & Friends (with Jessica Heaven & Mary Sparks) and Guido Heistek who are opening our evening of fabulous music at 7:30pm. The concert is taking place at our usual venue, Mount Seymour United Church, 1200 Parkgate Ave, North Vancouver (details and directional map at end of e-mail).
About our lineup:
Feature 9pm: Ally Jedrzejek Trio
Ally Jedrzejek (vocals), David Caballero (upright bass) & Ben Kyle (guitar) will be performing a mix of standards, Jazz, folk & pop. Ally honed her craft as a vocalist performing with various tribute acts across North America and the Caribbean. Ally has also been a familiar face on the musical scene across the greater Toronto area for the last decade. In 2019, she relocated to Vancouver (our good fortune!) to pursue her BMus and is now a graduate of the Capilano University Jazz Studies Education program. She continues to vibe as a vocal instructor and singer song writer on the west coast. David Caballero emerged quickly on the Vancouver scene and is one of our city's leading lights on bass. Ben Kyle is a session guitarist, singer/songwriter and composer who plays across a variety of genres - jazz, funk, folk and rock. Together they are an amazing young trio of performers who will dazzle you with their craft.

Opening for Ally and the Trio at 7:30pm:
John Lyon & Friends
To kick off this wonderful musical evening, we are opening with John Lyon & Friends with Jessica Heaven & Mary Sparks. John is a well-known singer/songwriter from Deep Cove. He has performed with a myriad of luminaries from our local scene - Karin Plato, Jennifer Scott, Bill C**n & Reuben Gurr, Don Fraser, Laura Crema and others. He is proud to have performed with the Eight for Sound Group of blind musicians and his song, "Home, Dear Home" has become an anthem among West Coast folk musicians. Joining John is Jessica Heaven, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress and martial arts practitioner from Deep Cove who studied jazz vocals at Cap University and Mary Sparks, a flute player and singer from Deep Cove and another veteran of our stage.
Guido Heistek, our second opener is another veteran of our stage. Guido has performed in the US, Japan, Canada and Europe and has worked as both an arranger and consultant for stage and film. He teaches private and small group lessons at his downtown studio, Yaletown Music. Guido has several teaching DVDs and CDs. Check him out at Ukulele In The Dark with Guido Heistek. We are proud to have featured Guido on our stage on more than one occasion - both solo and duet with the likes of Karin Plato.
Deep Cove Coffee House is blessed to be able to feature such an incredible line-up of musicians thanks to our amazing MC, John Lyon. We look forward to seeing you there.
