About John Flynn....

John Flynn writes powerful songs of humanity and hope.  His dynamic performances are known for their disarming honesty and humor. John Flynn is a Songwriter and activist who calls himself a “hopeful pessimist”.  The pessimism comes from a heartbreaking, clear-eyed honesty in assessing the condition of the world we live in. The hope comes from a deep-rooted faith in the beauty and resilience of the human spirit.  In an artist of Flynn’s caliber, the tension inherent in these seemingly contradictory points of view yields the kind of songs that moved Kris Kristofferson to compare Flynn to the best writers he knows, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott to boast “John Flynn is the John Lennon of the plasma generation!”

John began writing songs professionally after graduating from Temple University with a degree in political science in 1980. He intended to study law, but a brief sojourn to Nashville’s Music Row led to a change of plans in the form of a publishing contract with Combine Music, and a Billboard Magazine Top Forty country recording of his song Rainbows and Butterflies by Epic recording artist Billy Swan (I Can Help). Flynn’s writing, however, proved too introspective and poetic for country music and, one early hit notwithstanding, he eventually concluded that the only category he wanted his songs to fit neatly into was the one called “from the heart”.

In recent years John has toured extensively playing folk festivals, theaters, clubs, church basements and coffeehouses. Presented simply, with nothing more than an old Martin D-28 and harmonica, John’s compelling songs, strong voice and open hearted approach to his audiences, are making strangers believers, and believers friends throughout the country.

Coffee With Conscience Concert Series



Ahrre Maros is the owner of Ahrre's Coffee Roastery in Westfield & the Fair Trade Coffee Company on line. He has been presenting live musical events since 1992, when he first opened the Common Ground Cafe in Summit. The Cafe is gone now, but Ahrre continues bringing Professional Touring Musical Artists to the area for the benefit of the local community and several local Charities.

Currently, Ahrre presents the Coffee With Conscience Concert Series in Westfield, which is a Seven-show Series which acts as a fund-raiser—raising much needed funds for worthy causes—while providing the participants with the opportunity to attend quality performance events near their homes, providing an audience with a cultural experience, providing artists with a venue to display their talents, and generally strengthening the local community by bringing a group of people together for an evening of music in a comfortable setting.
