Capital City Cheesecake Artist Nights Start Thursday

Capital City Cheesecake is set to start its weekly artist night Thursday.

Every Thursday, starting July 21, Capital City Cheesecake will be hosting events and performances of all types. Musicians, poets, authors and artists will be given the platform to express themselves artistically to locals and beyond, Co-owner Meaghan Murphy said.

According to Murphy, she had many requests from residents to use the space to feature local art and performance.

"The time slot will vary but they will usually begin at 7:30 p.m. and will go no later than 10 p.m.," she said. "We want to celebrate all the local talent we have among us and believe our space it the perfect place to do it."  

Here is Capital City Cheesecake's upcoming Thursday perfomance calendar:

July 21, 7:00-9:30 pm (free): Local authors, Tom Kauffman and Allison Leotta.
