There is always something cooking at Stone Soup Coffeehouse, and on Saturday, October 11th, we have a very special evening planned. Local duo Bird & Augur will be appearing at our venue, and they will be recording a live compilation of their songs and music while our audience looks on and becomes part of the recording. We believe we have only done this once before when we recorded Bill Harley live at Stone Soup Coffeehouse when we were located at Slater Mill Historic Site. Tonight will be a unique and different listening experience and we hope you will join in the magic. The concert begins at 7 pm. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased in advance on our website.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Bird & Augur is a Rhode Island–based anticapitalist folk duo inspired by the traditions of solidarity and resistance that shape labor songs, protest anthems, and folk music globally. With rich harmonies, intricate fingerpicking, and heartfelt storytelling, Bo Fage (they/them, guitar) and James Cappelletti (he/him, banjo) lend their voices to an ongoing reckoning with systems of violence and control. Their music invites listeners to build community, and to attend to the signs, the stories, and the unfolding future that still responds to care and intention. They have performed on the Stone Soup Coffeehouse stage at the Music Mansion before during an open mic night and as part of our June fundraiser in 2024. They have been well received by all, and we wanted to bring them back to showcase their incredible talent, as well as the profound messages in their songs, as Stone Soup has always been a place where social justice and the human condition has been the front and center of our mission, as well.Saturday, October 11th at 7pm - Bird & Augur - Live Recording Session | $22 Buy Tickets

Stone Soup Coffeehouse is one of the oldest coffeehouse venues in New England. Stone Soup has presented many gifted acoustic musicians and songwriters from Rhode Island and the New England Area. We also have a history of recognizing talent and are proud to have featured many artists, such as Dar Williams, Ingrid Michaelson, Anaïs Mitchell, and Erin McKeown.
In 1981, several Rhode Island musicians and songwriters were inspired by Pete Seeger to share their music with each other and a wider audience. Stone Soup Folk Arts Foundation and Stone Soup Coffeehouse resulted. The name “Stone Soup” was taken from the folk tale about building community. In the story a beggar coming in to town is initially rebuffed by the townspeople. He offers to make his special “stone” soup and invites all to partake, eventually winning over the town and their communal contributions to make a truly magical soup. The magic is the building of a community, which is what we do at Stone Soup. At Stone Soup, artists, volunteers and audiences bring something special to a performance and the result is truly magical.
Most shows start at 7pm. Box Office & Kitchen open at 6pm. Doors to the listening room open at 6:30. All seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Concerts run until 9 - 9:30 depending on the night.
