The fiercely independent singer-songwriter has been iconic in Philadelphia since the early 1970s. Noted for his musically diverse styles – his influences range from Leonard Cohen to David Bowie and Lou Reed – he continues to be a vibrant force in the local music scene.

The all-day coffee roastery, café, and cocktail bar with roots in Ardmore have opened a holiday pop-up location in Chestnut Hill to sell coffee, drinks, gifts from Char & Stave, and bottles from Bluebird Distilling.
