Mitch Marcoulier Makes Music on the Patio Aug. 9

Popular singer and musician Mitch Marcoulier will be making music on the patio of Italian Maid Café, 5:30-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9.

Marcoulier’s decades-long career has seen him play with numerous celebrities. Now retired from the Los Angeles music scene, he performs his own songs throughout the Houston area.

While Marcoulier strums his acoustic guitar, families can dine on a special Friday night menu that includes entrées such as chicken parmesan and Rigatoni Salsiccia with hot and sweet Italian sausage.

Make plans to arrive at 5 p.m. before the music starts for happy hour. The cocktail menu offers several light summer cocktails including a Cherry Limeade Margarita and White Wine Nectarine Sangria, as well as craft beer and specialty wines. All are perfect for sipping as you enjoy lake views.

Marcoulier will repeat his performance during Music on the Patio Aug. 30. In between, diners can enjoy the music of Cross Creek Ranch resident Josue Thesis who will present an eclectic range of family-friendly songs on Aug. 16. Alejandro Miramontes and his John Mayer-inspired sounds will take the stage Aug. 23.

Italian Maid Cafe is located at 6450 Cross Creek Bend Lane next to the community’s Welcome Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Café is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. To reserve a table, visit www.IMCafe.us or phone 281-341-1587.
