Jacob’s Well Christian Coffeehouse will feature Bob Stanhope on Friday, May 3. Doors open at 7 p.m. with music starting at 7:30 p.m. The quaint café-style coffeehouse will be held at The Oasis, the cozy renovated 1800’s storefront located at 3 Elm Street adjacent to Union Church in the historic Rockville section of Vernon.

Stanhope is a songwriter, singer, guitarist and comedian from Putnam Lake, New York. His more serious material feels a bit like Billy Joel, Harry Chapin or Peter, Paul and Mary. His comic side could be likened to Weird Al Yankovic or Tom Lehrer. This humorous side was nurtured during his many years during the 1980s and 1990s as the morning personality on suburban New York City radio stations.
