Sunapee CoffeeHouse - John Porcino
2025-12-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Lake Sunapee United Methodist Church, 9 Lower Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
For 41 years, John has been bringing audiences the gifts of laughter and insight, leaving them with nourished minds and spirits. Kindled form the flickering flames of story, song, and music, his beloved programs are humorous, tender, foolish, joyful, hopeful sparks form the fire of life.
Performances are celebrations of story and song sparked to life with warmth, humor, a playful touch of audience participation, instruments from around the world and a message of caring for our planet and each other.
Much Johns training for his 40 years as a storyteller and singer arose while creating and participating in the zany and touching moments around a campfire. All of life, seen through a flickering fire light, surrounded by the magnificent beauty of our natural world. These days John gives some 150 performances and workshops each year for folks of all shapes and sizes. His publications include the book “Spinning Tales: Weaving Hope” and his newly released recording “A Heck of a Way to Stay Warm: Stories and Songs that Kindle Winter’s hidden light” . For John the arts are joyful pathways toward celebrating our common humanity and the legacy of life on our planet.

Holiday Wine Tasting
2025-12-04 16:00 - 18:00 | Sunapee Cellar and Pantry, 5 Garnet Street, Sunapee, NH
Looking for that special wine for the holiday season or for a gift, this wine tasting is for you. Join us 4-6pm on Thursday, December 4th.
On a recent trip to Napa, I was introduced to the Award Winning Gibbs Winery, a very small winery in St Helena. When we visited, we learned they don’t have a traditional tasting room, so we tasted in the field and at the winemaker’s house.
We sampled a bright Sauvignon Blanc, two standout Chardonnays, a Cab Franc, and several Cabernet Sauvignons and estate wines. Our store’s wine consultant, Anda, who rarely enjoys Chardonnays, declared both of theirs exceptional. She’s bringing one, along with the Cab Franc, to her Napa Thanksgiving celebration, which says everything.
We will be tasting 5 wines including the Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, The Dusty Red (a classic Bordeaux blend with a bit of a twist) a Napa-Styled Cab Franc and one of their Estate Cabernets.
This is a free event and very casual. Come anything between 4pm and 6pm and stay for as long as you like. Of course, we will be providing a well-appointed charcuterie board to nibble on.

Sunapee CoffeeHouse - Robyn Macy
2025-11-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Lake Sunapee United Methodist Church, 9 Lower Main Street, Sunapee, NH, 03782
Robyn’s musical journey began in the nineteen sixties during “the Great Folk Scare.” Early influences included listening to the music of Dave Van Ronk and Mississippi John Hurt whose finger-picking seemed to be just this side of magical. Over all the years, her love of the fingerstyle blues has persisted and expanded.
After college and grad school, a decades long engineering career interrupted Robyn’s musical pursuits but after a lapse of many years, she returned to music with enthusiasm. During the past ten years Robyn has performed at open mics in Sunapee, Andover and Warner, playing both covers and some original material. Robyn is therefore a newcomer to the stage, with tonight’s debut performance being the fulfillment of a dream many years in the making. She aims to make it a good one.
Beyond the blues, Robyn loves songs with some emotional heft and she frequently sings songs that tell a story. Songs that are poignant, wistful, funny, or gritty all reach out to her. So, look for some traditional fingerstyle blues, some covers that may pull the heart strings and some original songs as well.
