Stone Soup Coffeehouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 over three decades. As of July 2012, it was housed in St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Pawtucket, the most recent of many venues that have housed it.[1][2]

Founded in 1980,[3] it has presented concerts by artists such as Catie Curtis, Pete Seeger, Patty Larkin, Ellis Paul, The Low Anthem, Northern Lights, Holly Near, and Marshall Crenshaw, 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.[4]
