Wind Down Wednesdays at Juniper Café

Juniper Café lists acoustic music on Wednesday afternoons at both its King Street and Terra Verde locations. The November listings name Doug van der Horden and Taryn McKenna, with Nate Zahn also part of the series. Check the event page for the performer at each location. The organizer invites people to bring a sketchbook, knitting or cards and spend part of the afternoon listening. The two locations share the 4 to 6 p.m. window.

This calendar entry is for the waterfront café at 370 King Street West. Juniper’s Terra Verde café at 3-497 Cataraqui Woods Drive also hosts music on Wednesday afternoons. Check the café’s event information for that location.

If you’re making this a night out with friends, get there in time to hear how the first few songs set the pace. The small choices in a live set often stick with you longest. It might be a held note, a drum part that comes into focus once you know where to listen, or the way people in the room react when they recognise a tune.

A local outing can be a good way to learn what’s happening at a venue beyond the shows you already follow. Check the listing for the plan that day and leave some room to get your bearings when you arrive. If the event introduces you to a name you want to follow, save it before you head home.

Take a look at the listing again before you head out, especially if you’re coming in from another part of Kingston. A quick check of the date and room can save the group from waiting in two places. If there’s anything you need to know about getting into the venue or taking part, the organizer is the best place to check.
