Join us as we welcome YouTube sensation Kayte Grace.  Kayte describes her new albums “Written On”, as an explosion of folk, blues, pop and rock, held together by warm-voiced, sing-along-able melodies and meaningful lyrics.  Whatever you want to call it, it’s good music.  And it’s feel good music.

Kayte is also an accomplished actress having landed roles on Law and Order, SVU, and Gossip Girl.

We often wear our Sweetwaters t-shirts and hats when we travel.  Many times people will stop us saying, “Hey, we’ve been to Ann Arbor and we know Sweetwaters!” We’ve also seen others wearing Sweetwaters gear in places outside of Ann Arbor.  So we thought it would be fun to post your photos and stories of you wearing your SW t-shirt, hat, drinking from a SW mug, or enjoying our coffee/tea in some exotic place.

We’ll post all entries right here on our blog so you can show the world how well Sweetwaters travels!  Prizes of coffee, tea, or Sweetwaters gear for the picture taken furthest from Ann Arbor and for the funniest picture/story combo.

Email your pictures and stories to info@SweetwatersCafe.com or post them on our Facebook Page.

At Sweetwaters we appreciate the importance of career and technical education and are proud to support and mentor our local students.
