Venue review

The musician's read

The BackDoor Café is a Sitka coffeehouse and community gathering spot where local live music is part of the room's year-round identity. Acoustic, folk and singer-songwriter acts fit the close, informal setting, with the audience likely to be listening from only a few feet away. Musicians who can carry a room on songs and personality rather than production should feel at home. The venue is 21+.
