One of the most storied and respected acoustic venues in the country, and that’s not overstating one whit the stature of Me&Thee in the folk world. Apart from being the flagship for the local coffeehouse revival, it is revered as one of the few stages that kept the folk flames fanned during the disco-driven ’70s and MTV-happy early ’80s.
It is the very model of the modern folk club, living-room comfy and front-porch social, yet a first-rate and keenly professional listening room.”

“No fortune of circumstance, windfall profit or simple twist of fate has kept the doors of the Me&Thee in Marblehead open. Only the deep, stubborn, self-sacrificing belief that this music must have a home has kept the Me&Thee volunteers from giving up as storm after storm battered their doors. There is only one thank you they wish for all of their years of struggling: that you drop in from time to time, say hello and enjoy the show.”
—New England Folk Almanac
“A wellspring for them all is the Me&Thee coffeehouse, located in a wood-warm, parlor-friendly meeting hall at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead. It has done much to inspire the resurgence of these homey, family oriented, affordable music clubs.”
—The Boston Sunday Globe
“For over 25 years now, the me and thee coffeehouse in Marblehead has provided a respected venue for talented performers. It offers an audience and a paycheck for musicians. Of course, we as fans benefit from this venerable establishment. The efforts to survive are monumental. Rarely do we take the time to appreciate the work and the passion involved, and to say thank you. We do so now.”
