History:
The Country Corner Coffee House began in the Fall of 1990 at it's current
location in the Fellowship Hall of the Congregational Church of South
Hadley Falls. The season began that October on the third Saturday and
continued on consecutive months until April (except Dec). Many area rising
country and bluegrass bands got noticed here. Through the years many area,
regional and nationally know bands have performed on stage in front of the
large Country Corner banner. Notable groups include The Bear Bridge Band,
Acoustic Blue, Southern Rail, The Dry Branch Fire Squad
and Karl Shiflett and Big Country Show just to name a few.
Current:
The coffee house continues to be a gathering place every third Saturday in
the Fall and Winter months filling the bill during the bluegrass festival
off-season. Bluegrass and country music diehards continue to come from as
far away as Maine, the southern shore of Connecticut
and across the border into New
York state. It is one of the longest running
strictly old time country and bluegrass coffee houses in the region.
