The Living Room Newsletter
February 6, 2024
Hi all,
First, I want each of you to know how much I appreciate your support and patronage. YOU are what has kept The Living Room & Cricket Cafe - and me! - going, and have made it the special place it has become. I am so, so grateful.
The past six years have been a whirlwind! Launching The Living Room in three successive Ardmore locations, adding a cafe, and working with so many artists and organizations in the effort to offer a unique experience has been the experience of a lifetime.
So it is with a heavy heart that I've decided to close The Living Room and Cricket Cafe. I would like to work on my own music, travel the country, and spend more time with loved ones, because as time goes by, that becomes more precious to me.
Many of you know that I've been making and performing music since I was a teenager, and my heart is pulling me towards resuming my musical career. Which is hard to do while operating a live entertainment venue!
I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to bring the arts to this community. It has been a wonderful journey with many magical memories that I will cherish and hold close to my heart. I am truly blessed to have met so many wonderful people and amazing artists.
Since the opening of my first spot on Lancaster Avenue to the perfect fit here on Cricket Avenue, it has been a magical journey. I'm excited for my new chapter, but it's not goodbye, as I'll still be coming back to visit where it all began for me as Robert Hazard's protege.
All that being said... we still have a PACKED music schedule through the end of April! I'm excited about each one of them, and hope you will come see a show and say hi (and 'bye), and have some homemade carrot cake! I have too many people to thank to do that here, so please come by so I can thank YOU.
With love,
Laura, Casey and Coco
