Winona’s Blooming Grounds Coffee House has been around for 13 years and over time has added music to its variety of sounds. Walking into the coffee house, one can hear the chatter of the costumers sitting over their steaming cups of coffee (or glasses of wine, depending on what time of day it is). The clatter of laptop keys of college students finishing their papers fill the open space, and music flows from the occasional performer who could be playing any genre imaginable.

“We have all kinds of music here. We have had folky-banjo-y type music, some Nora Jones/Amy Winehouse style from performer Amanda Grace,” owner Amy Jo Marks said.

On Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m., there is a regular rotation between three artists: Patti Darbo, a folk artist from the Winona area; Stacy Hughes, a local performer who has performed different styles of music including folk and jazz and the Turkey Creek Trio which includes Bob Stuber, Jim Reineke and Scott Lowery who, according to their Facebook page, perform “whatever [they] like and are able to play.”

“On performance nights, we have wine and beverages other than coffee, as well as little appetizer plates for food. We really try to create a place to welcome everybody,” Marks said.

May is also bringing new talent to the Winona area. Matt Hannah, a Minneapolis-based fold Americana singer-songwriter, will perform May 6. Eric the Viking, focusing on folk and blues music, will be at the coffee house May 20. Amanda Grace, a performer of acoustic rock, kid’s music as well as some gospel music, will be performing May 27.
