Stone Soup Coffeehouse

The Stone Soup Coffeehouse is a coffeehouse based in Rhode Island. It is one of the oldest folk music venues in Southern New England, having operated for 29 years. It is currently housed in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Pawtucket.[1]

Founded in 1980,[2] it has presented concerts by artists such as Catie Curtis, Pete Seeger, and Patty Larkin, and continues to present a mix of national and local artists.

In 2003, it had to ask for donations for the first time; prior to that, they had been able to support themselves on admission fees.[3] Today, their concerts are often billed as fundraisers.
