NEXT CROSSROADS CONCERT: DENICE FRANKE CD RELEASE! Saturday, August 16. Acclaimed Texas singer-songwriter Denice Franke returns to the Crossroads stage this night to celebrate the release of her latest CD "Gulf Coast Blue." Last time Denice played Crossroads, she got a taste of Kate Hearne's amazing lead guitar prowess. She's asked Kate to accompany her on this night. And she's asked Adler & Hearne (aka Lynn and Lindy) to open. We look forward to playing this show with Denice, as well as her Friday night, August 15 show at Poor David's Pub in Dallas.

For hot tips on AREA WINING, DINING, LODGING, SHOPPING and more - click on our Links page for detailed descriptions and contact info. (FYI: Crossroads is not a restaurant or bar. We offer bottled water, and cold soft drinks on a donation basis. And sometimes -- when our coffee maker decides to cooperate, we offer hot coffee and tea. (Hey, we're a coffeehouse in the musical sense of the word!) Also, guests are welcome to bring wine into our venue. Most concerts are presented in the traditional 'coffeehouse setting' -- an eclectic mixture of tables and chairs. However, certain concerts draw record numbers, and on those evenings we offer concert seating only -- no tables. If you purchase a reserved seat ticket, you are always guaranteed a RESERVED SEAT; some nights that includes being seated at a table, other nights not.)
FYI: Concert seating is on a first come - first served basis (unless you RESERVE seats directly with Crossroads -- available at an additional $5 per ticket, with reservations taken on a first come, first reserved basis).
DOORS OPEN at 7 PM on live music nights. Music always begins at 7:30. (Unless noted otherwise, of course.)
Thanks to all of you who show up and do your part to help keep music aLIVE and well in East Texas.
See you in happenin' downtown Winnsboro - THE CROSSROADS OF EAST TEXAS.
