Join us for City Arts Cafe's first Friday in 2011! Special guest musician... STEPHEN CHRISTOFF!! A balladeer for Colonial Williamsburg for over 15 years, Stephen is also a singer/ songwriter and will be sharing original works as well as covers. I've had the opportunity to see him a few times now and I'm very excited to bring his unique sound and musicality to City Arts Cafe!!

Accompanying his multi-Octave vocalisations is his guitar (often played in slide mode) and octave mandolin. He captivates the audience with instruments and sounds that they have never heard or seen before such as his handflute, bowed musical saw, and jaw Harp.
