Join us as we welcome American folk and country singer-songwriter and musician CAROLINE HERRING to the stage.

Caroline Herring is a Mississippi native, but now resides in Georgia with her husband and children. She combines her singing and songwriting gifts together to provide the listener with an unforgettable experience. We’ve got a great evening of entertainment for you so join us for an amazing show. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Childcare available.

 

“Herring is a magnificent storyteller, a master of the painterly detail, but she never gives it all away. There are enigmatic spaces in her songs that work like magnets, drawing the listener deep into her tales of hardship, history, perseverance and celebration. These shows spotlight the Decatur resident’s new album, “Camilla,” her sixth release. It’s another stellar beauty from an artist who gets better with each passing year.” — Shane Harrison, Atlanta Journal Constitution

Shout-outs from some of our Back Door artists upon our 25th Anniversary:

“Happy 25, y’all! I’m SO PROUD to know you! Wishing the Back Door 25 more years of Peace, Love, and Music!”  Kate Campbell, Nashville

“‘Listening room’ and ‘music venue’ only begin to describe the Back Door Coffeehouse. To capture the essence of this place, you need words such as nuanced, hospitable, thoughtful, generous, and appreciative. And, of course, open because their doors are always just that. Congrats on 25 years, and thanks for treating your artists so well!”Claire Holley, Los Angeles

“Hello to all the folks who come to the Back Door to celebrate the joy music brings to life of beautiful melody and lyric. Happy 25th Anniversary!”Chuck Cannon, Nashville

“To everyone at The Back Door, a very, very Happy 25 years of bringing the music to the people! Thank you for making me feel a part of your family. Woohoo!”Sally Barris, Nashville

“Back Door Coffeehouse blesses all the right things about music and community. Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary.” Tom Kimmel — Tupelo

“Congrats, Back Door! Quite an accomplishment to build such a loving community over 25 years… So glad to be a small part of it.” Tricia Walker — Cleveland, Mississippi

“Congratulations, Back Door! Pierce Pettis here. You guys have always been great to me. Looking forward to seeing you again on May 5th! Take care.” Pierce Pettis — Menton, Alabama

“Sending lots of love from across the Atlantic to all at The Back Door Coffeehouse!

The Back Door opens at 7:00pm and the radio recording begins at 7:30. That gives you time to get your coffee and treats and find a table near the stage.

About the Back Door Coffeehouse

Back Door Coffeehouse logoUniversity Baptist Church has served as the host of the monthly Back Door Coffeehouse since 1992. The Back Door is a unique ministry to the community where local writers, musicians, and poets are featured in an intimate and relaxed candlelight and coffee atmosphere. The Back Door is typically held on the first Friday of every month from 7:30 – 9:30P.M. There is no charge for admission, although donations for soft drinks, candy, coffee, and other costs are appreciated. Periodically, various nationally-known musicians and performers are secured by donations from patrons and neighborhood sponsors for special concerts to promote this unique artistic venue to a larger audience. Such acclaimed recording artists as Kate Campbell, Pierce Pettis, Spooner Oldham, Tom Kimmel, Caroline Herring, Tracy Grammer, and Steve Forbert have graced our stage. But we are also proud to promote the talents of our own local and regional musicians and writers. Our performers often portray a wide variety of ideas and styles. However, in supporting the open and honest artistic expression of our neighbors, there will, at times, be some readings neither intended nor appropriate for children. Childcare is provided for parents of young children without charge. If you wish to receive our monthly Back Door Coffeehouse e-mail messages, please contact us at coffeehouse@ubchm.org.
