This month’s Side Door Coffeehouse event is Friday, Oct. 10, and features an open mic followed by a set from folk musician Carolyn Currie.

The Side Door Coffeehouse is a space for local musicians and others (professional and amateur) to share their talents, and for residents and visitors of the Midcoast community to enjoy great entertainment and conversation in a relaxed setting. It is hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick (1 Middle St., Brunswick) and is run by a group of volunteers. The Side Door Coffeehouse operates on the second Friday of every month except August.

Admission is $12 for adults and free for children 17 and under. Open mic signup is at 6:45 p.m. and performances start at 7 p.m. Currie will go on from 8:30-9:30 p.m.

Currie’s music has been described as “haunting,” her “luminous her voice” carrying listeners to a place of reflection and emotional intensity. She has shared the stage with greats like Jonathan Edwards, Tom Rush, Lucy Kaplansky, Cheryl Wheeler and Richard Shindell, and has captivated audiences throughout the U.S. playing festivals such as Seattle’s Bumbershoot and Folk Life Festivals, California’s High Sierra Music Festival, and the Kerrville Folk Festival.

Currie’s music has garnered numerous awards and national recognition. Her 2014 release, “Echolocation,” climbed to No. 2 in the alternative folk charts.
