/ˈflīiNG/ /staɡ/ verb 1. When musicians from popular local bands create an artistic experience based from their solo projects.
March 23rd Artist lineup:... Väl Challah
Norwegian death metal guitarist turned synth-pop proponent, Väl Challah, will be performing solo for the first time in the U.S. at Water Witch Coffee in Highlands, NJ on March 23rd.
A viking of few words, Väl will be playing traditional music from his beloved island home, Moskenesøya, as well as songs he’d learned while spending six months in deep space. He might have to explain that part a little.
Though best known for his work with the genre defying group, Daughter Vision, Väl is also pursuing his love of fashion through his own apparel business, Stygg Ulv (Ugly or Slightly Messy Wolf.)
“I like my clothing to look as though it were hacked and torn by a dull hunting knife because it was. I only have the one knife and it’s pretty lousy.”Please join us at Water Witch for an intimate evening of intrepid sagas, hot coffee, and sleeveless t-shirts.
APRIL CENTRONE
born in Harlem, New York, started as a performer of drumset at age 9. Today as a drummer she weaves within the genres of rock, jazz, experimental, progressive, funk/R&B and world music.
April's other trademark is the riqq, or Arabic tambourine, paving the way for women riqq players in her community with her own original comprehensive and successful methodology in Chiqqs with Riqqs.
Centrone has led workshops in Arabic music around the world, including Taipei Chinese Orchestra Silk Road Conference, Taiwan University of the Arts, Music Therapy workshop tour of Malaysia, Berklee School of Music and Cleveland Institute of Music. Centrone co-founded Arabic music and language project مشروع جذور لبنان Project Roots Lebanon, serving youth of refugee camps and underprivileged zones throughout Lebanon.
April prides her work on encouraging women to feel they are allowed to explore and even master these instruments which are still mostly played by men.
Riley Schiro
born and raised in Red Bank, NJ, Riley Schiro is best known for his shredding with the Cranston Dean Band, and also plays with other great bands such as Alix Gagliastro Band, Mercury Brothers, and Kenny K and the Way. What some people don't know about Riley is that, aside from playing lead guitar, he writes and sings beautiful songs, as well. Before studying music at Brookdale, Riley picked up a guitar at the age of 13 has been playing gigs on the Jersey Shore since he was 16 years old!

I was in the area when I saw the Water Witch Cafe on Google maps. I liked the name, reviews and photos so I went over. The atmosphere is cozy and there were some people playing guitars in the backroom. I had a nice time, enjoyed my food and smoothie and ended up getting coffee beans to take home Melody was the barista and she is very nice and told me more about the cafe and their events.

I really love how friendly the staff is! I just met Maureen and she was quite lovely and informative. Definitely hoping to make this a Saturday routine :) I never had such an amazing iced latte before and love the unique food and fresh pastries. A+!

I ordered to go the shrimp and crab salad with organic veggies and tahini dressing...it was one of the best salads I ever had.

Anonymous Oct 18, 2023 at 7:09PM

I love it that everybody knows you there. They even have a place where you can hang your own coffee mug to use when you come in. Great place to grab a coffee and fresh pastry or even one of their awesome breakfast bowls and catch up on some chit-chat or just sit outside or in the window and watch the world go by.

I love Water Witch. Val and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I don't drink coffee it they have great smoothies and a real bohemian atmosphere. I loved the poetry and jazz on Sunday afternoons. I felt like I was in San Francisco. Can't wait to go back.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Although I am but a cat with a melon helmet on my head and I have never actually entered the premises it is my understanding this venue cultivates incredible artistic musical and cultural community events so it is my intention to attend such an event personally in the near future please leave fancy feast savory beef-medley by the side entrance thank you

First time visiting tonight. Songwriters performing live. Great space and then there's the desserts! I had a Strawberry/Rhubarb "danish" not fair to call it simply a danish. Amazing. Get it warmed up and a la mode!
