Funny, but as I have roasted coffee and shared it with friends, I have a few that play in rock bands.

It started with Rick Ventura, guitarist for Riot.





Then the band Saxon, starting drinking my coffee.






Now, The Steve Satchel band in Houston is selling my coffee right next to their cd's and t-shirts.



They told another band in Houston about it, and they want 20 lbs of my coffee with their logo on it.

Seems people see their logo sitting on the kitchen counter and it starts conversation.

I am becoming the official coffee roaster of rock bands.

Kind of fun!

Email me from my profile.
I can do 1/2 a pound to 20 lbs.
We can start there.

I'm slow in figuring out where you were going but coffee and rock bands certainly is a niche. Who would have thought?

You probably are on to something. Decades ago, people were wondering what's the sense of adding a camera to a cell phone and look where things are now.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Word of mouth is the best marketing plan out there. Cool

Congrats! Be ready to respond to the request "Can you add a bar code?". The answer is always, "Of course! Let me have the info you want printed on the package".
