The Pea Pod Cafe
Here is what's happening this week at The Pea Pod Cafe:
Omelette Bar- The Pea Pod Cafe will have an omelette bar
this Saturday, October 18 from 10am - 1pm.
Music- This Saturday, October 18 Mae Klingler will be
performing from 4-6pm in the community room at The Pea Pod Cafe. From
the age of five, Mae always knew she wanted to play the guitar. For the
first decade of her life, she settled for a tissue box and some rubber
bands, but on her sixteenth birthday, she finally received her first
guitar. After a year and a half of constant practicing, and the
distribution of earplugs for her sister, Mae made her public debut as
the guitar-wielding fairy in her high school production of A Midsummer
Night's Dream. Her musicianship was limited to her bedroom until her
freshman year at Ohio University. After several weeks of attending
Bruce Dalzell's Friday night open mic, she decided to perform in
public. Armed with the help of a friend who sang along, Mae performed
several covers and an instrumental version of her first original song.
Making a home where she first began, Mae continued honing her technique
in Athens, a sleeply little town that rocks almost every night. Mae's
influences include national talents Patty Griffin and Gillian Welch,
but most of her musical influence comes from the stages of Athens,
Ohio. After college, Mae moved to Cincinnati and looks forward to
finding the perfect local haunts to set up her guitar. Hear more Mae at
