Subcommittees

Coffeehouse provides an opportunity for A&M student musicians, comedians, poets and entertainers alike to show their stuff Wednesday nights between 5pm-7pm in the Barnes and Noble bookstore of the MSC. The committee is responsible for all programming and musical aspects of these shows including Coffeehouse themes, finding and booking acts, running sound equipment and all other aspects of the show (especially publicity). Coffeehouse’s atmosphere strives to be casual yet focused by historically providing eclectic, innovative and rootsy music by songwriters and performers from jazz, folk, poetry, hip hop, jam bands and indie bands.

In addition to creating events from scratch, members in SpEv have the opportunity to co-program with other organizations on and off campus in the community. Each semester, a minimum of three events will be put on by members.
