The  Highlands Coffee House presents Mes Amis Gypsy Guitar Duo. Steve Lynnworth and Harry Richter together will play an infectious mix of traditional gypsy, Latin and American jazz standards.

Rock City Coffee presents singer-songwriter Heather Styka. When listeners describe Heather as an “old soul,” the term applies to more than her wisdom beyond her years. Styka’s tunes have a vintage familiarity that draws inspiration from folk and Tin Pan Alley sounds, but the vivid images of her lyrics render her songs as as fresh, smart, and unexpected as they are hummable. The show runs 7-9 p.m. The event is free but a donation of $5 is always encouraged.

Blind Albert plays the The Speakeasy in Rockland from 8-11 p.m.
