August Music with Avalon Stanley

Our second music night in August! On Saturday August 22nd, Avalon Stanley will join us at the Coffee Shop. Avalon Stanley is the musical alter-ego of award winning actor, Darryl Hopkins. With his roots stemming firmly from Trinity Bay, he’s performed internationally to sold out audiences. Armed with his trusty acoustic guitar and portable pump organ, his songs speak to the sublime nature of the human experience, and the beauty, therein.
