Late Night Jams at the Coffee House
The Sin-e Irish coffeehouse was a small 50-seat venue in NYC’s East Village, and home to many of Jeff’s first performances in the city. “I went into that cafe because I really felt I had to go to an impossibly intimate setting where there’s no escape, where there’s no hiding yourself,” he told Musician Magazine.
