DCCA Coffeehouse Series presents Kim & Reggie Harris Thursday, April 3 at 7 pm.

Darke County Center for the Arts will present folk musicians Kim and Reggie Harris at the Arts Depot in Union City on Thursday, April 3. “Kim and Reggie are consummate musicians and storytellers who inspire a sense of joy that lifts the soul; their music makes people come alive!” extolled Keith Rawlins, Artistic Director for DCCA. According to Mr. Rawlins, Kim and Reggie Harris have earned the respect of audiences throughout the world during their thirty-plus years of performance. “They are unique in their ability to entertain audiences of any age and background,” Rawlins stated. The final performance of the current Coffeehouse Series season, the concert begins at 7 p.m.

Kim and Reggie Harris combine a strong folk and gospel legacy with a solid background in classical, rock, jazz and pop music. The husband and wife were both born and raised in Philadelphia, and credit the city's rich cultural and musical heritage with their appreciation for diverse musical styles and genres. Their many years of road and stage experience have seen them interact with such revered performers as Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte, and Bernice Johnson Reagan. They have performed at prestigious venues such as The Kennedy Center and The Smithsonian Institute in Washington , DC, as well as at numerous festivals, universities and schools around the world.

DCCA's Coffeehouse Series provides high quality artists performing in casual social settings where food and drink are available. Easy interaction between musicians and audience adds to the intimate atmosphere of DCCA's Coffeehouse Series, and has become a trademark component of the shows.

Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
