Upcoming Coffeehouse Concert
Tune Keepers
Sunday, May 19th, 2024
6pm-8pm
Walton Theatre
30 Gardiner St., Walton, NY
The final Coffeehouse at the Theatre for Music on theDelaware’s 2023-24 season will take place on Sunday, May 19 from 6:00 to 8:00pm and will welcome a duo from Northeastern Pennsylvania called The Tune Keepers.
Steve Jacobi and Dale Teeple have been playing music together for over 40 years as members of the group “The Old Time Fiddlers” and a band called “Fiddlin’ Around.” Because of their dedication to preserving the art of fiddling, they are calling their duo “Tune Keepers.” They have a repertoire of hundreds of tunes from many parts of the world, including Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, and Canadian, along with many styles of American fiddling.
They like to take audiences on a voyage into the world of fiddling. Steve is a five-time champion in his age of class in the prestigious fiddling contest in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada, and recently won second place in his age group in the National Fiddling Contest in Weiser, Idaho. He was also inducted into the NYS Fiddlers Hall of Fame in July of 2023.
Dale was raised in a musical family and learned piano at an early age from his mother. He has developed a beautiful style of piano accompaniment, being influenced by some of the top traditional players in Canada.
Coffeehouse performances take place in the Andrea Retz Paternoster room on the second floor of the Walton Theatre. Desserts and coffee/tea are available. Concerts are free, though donations to Music on the Delaware are gratefully accepted.
This event brings to a close Music on the Delaware activities for the 2023-24 season. We look forward to more great music in the coming year!

Coffeehouse at the Walton Theatre
Music on the Delaware (MOD)'s Coffeehouse began in the fall of 2009. This program complements our mainstage concert season at the Walton Theatre. The Coffeehouse events take place on the second floor of the Walton Theatre in the intimate Andrea Retz Paternoster Room on the third Sunday of every month from September through May (except December).
Coffeehouses highlight local and regional musicians playing a variety of types of music such as traditional, classical, jazz, and folk, and includes singer/songwriters. The events are free to the public, but donations are welcomed by MOD to help support operating costs. The site is excellent for acoustic music with only minor amplification needed for balance and voice. Volunteers provide desserts, coffee and tea. Attendees come and go as they wish during the relaxed, casual performances.
During the pandemic of 2020 through spring of 2021, our Coffeehouses went virtual. A livestream option continued through February 2024. On a more limited basis, we plan to include additional, occasional, virtual-only programs to attract musicians from far away.
We hope to see and welcome many of you at our next Coffeehouse!
