Darke County Center for the Arts Coffee House Series was created to present performing artists in small venues, providing opportunity for local audiences to, at an affordable cost, sample appealing food offerings in a comfortable welcoming atmosphere while enjoying first-class entertainers who may not (yet) be famous. DCCA’s 2024-2025 Coffee House season begins soon, offering a variety of outstanding artists performing in inviting intimate settings.

On Thursday, October 17, singer/songwriter/guitarist Diana Chittester will fittingly perform her intimate music on stage at Greenville’s Beanz Buttercream Bakery. Described as an “intelligent songwriter” and “endearing storyteller” who engages in “fierce guitar acrobatics,” the Cleveland-based artist during the last decade has been building a strong reputation while releasing a series of albums that communicate deeply personal, yet universal feelings. She has shared the stage with Lyle Lovett, Gin Blossoms, Joan Osborne, and others while performing at venues across the eastern United States and Canada.
