The community is invited to attend the next Ascension Coffee House on October 18th, which takes place from 7:00-9:00 PM in the parish hall at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, Cartersville. This local listening room for original song gives area songwriters an opportunity to share their creative work with an appreciative audience. Reneé Mixon is the featured songwriter for October.
A native of Rome, Georgia, Mixon has performed in numerous cities across the southeast, including Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, Birmingham, and Charlotte. She has also been featured on regional radio and television stations, as well as KPIG Radio in California. Mixon’s CD, Dance With Me, was released in 2008. Her first release, If I Could Live in a Picture, produced in 2002, features fifteen selections of her original work, and the second CD, Just So You Know, was released in 2004. Mixon’s heartfelt lyrics, inspired by personal experiences, will touch all who listen. The clarity and warmth of her voice, partnered with her pure enjoyment of music, develops a special connection with live audiences. You can hear examples of her music on her web page at www.reneemixon.com.
McKee will continue to serve as host of Ascension Coffee House. Rick McKee is a singer/songwriter, composer, music educator, and multi-instrumentalist from Cartersville. He has released two albums on the Cosmic Possum label.
