(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, will host two music events – The Einstein Alley Coffee House on Friday, October 13 from 7:30pm to 9:00pm and the Java Jam on Sunday, October 15 at 4:00pm.  Both events will be held at the Princeton Makes artist studios and art market in the Princeton Shopping Center.  

The Einstein Alley Coffee House is a collaboration between Princeton Makes and The Einstein Alley Musicians’ Collaborative.   This event will take place each week through the end of the year, with different local musicians performing each week.  Lillipies pastries will be served.  The event on October 13 will feature Callie and Maia, a folk, indie, and jazz influenced duo, who use their admiration for music to create unique, emotional performances. They play piano, bass, acoustic guitar, and sing eccentric harmonies.  A $10 suggested cover charge goes directly to the musicians.

Java Jam is a coffeehouse that takes place on the third Sunday of every month at Princeton Makes.  It is free and open to the public.  On October 15 the featured musician is Irish Singer Fiona Tyndall, who will be singing Celtic songs accompanied by Nathan Bishop on fiddle and Anton Guryev on guitar.

Princeton Makes is a cooperative comprised of 37 local artists who work across a range of artistic genres, including painting, drawing, stained glass, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and jewelry. Customers will be able to support local artists by shopping for a wide variety of art, including large paintings, prints, custom-made greeting cards, stained glass lamps and window hangings, jewelry in a variety of designs and patterns, and more.
