Jacob’s Well Coffeehouse, downtown Rockville’s monthly Christian nightclub, will feature an encore performance of Gospel Doo-Wop by singer Walter Santos on Friday, July 7. Doors open at 7, with music starting at 7:30 pm. The café-style coffeehouse will be held at The Oasis, a renovated 1800’s storefront at 3 Elm Street in the Rockville section of Vernon. Admission and refreshments are free.

A resident of Hightstown, New Jersey, Santos grew up in New York City and became a talented live concert and studio percussionist. He performed with Weather Report, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker and The Outlaws. However, the fast life of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll led him to drug addiction. Come hear how he was delivered and has lived a radically transformed life.

Now in its 28th year, Jacob’s Well is one of the oldest continuously-operating coffeehouses in Connecticut. For details and directions, please call 860.871.6500 or visit www.JacobsWellCoffeehouse.com.
