Nancy & Tony Peters, the original  founders  of Taffy's (est. 1999) said it best:

- Taffy's is southwest Ohio's home for original, acoustic based music. We pride ourselves on supporting the independent musician and host a variety of different genres including Folk, Rock, Country, Bluegrass, Native American, Christian and instrumental music and poetry. Taffy's is a family friendly establishment and performers should consider this before submitting material.

- Taffy's will appeal mainly to three types of musicians, Regional acts, who wish to make Taffy's a regular home and build a following, traveling musicians who have an off nite between cities and wish to pick up a gig to fill out a tour, and established acts who can set a ticket price and are looking for a great sounding, intimate venue. With a
seating capacity of 66 and great sound anywhere in the house, Taffy's offers a premier setting for an original music showcase.

- Our regular schedule of music, unless otherwise noted, is Friday nite from 8 to 11 p.m. As a coffee house, pay is based primarily on tips and sales of merchandise, but on occasions the house does its best to help the musicians, based on sales.

- We provide P.A., but suggest to bring your own mic(s)

Manny,
Just wanted to thank you again for your support of local original music. Taffy's is an oasis for frustrated musicians (such as myself) who are starved for a venue (and an audience) with an open minded, positive & welcoming vibe.

Frequently my experience with club owners is, shall we say, not the best (see my blog "booking the gigs"). You on the other hand "is - are - is the man". Friday night, at the anniversary party, for example, when you brought the 15 year olds up to do 3 songs, before Eric Loy went on, that was a very cool move, (as Little Steven would say). (You get it) There has to be an outlet for music that doesn't necessarily fit the traditional "show me the money" or the "how many people can you get in here" or the "play something we know" venue. (God - don't get me started)

When I played up there, back in March, I was amazed that the audience knew the cover stuff I did, and I do everything from Prine to Pavement. Places like Taffy's are few and far between. (Oh and by the way, sorry I was late, who knew it would take us an hour and a half to get there.)

Love the regulars - Jerry Gillespie is a hoot with his 'sittin' on the couch "comments".

Thanks for the time and effort, 
Larry
