MUSIC: Tiffany Dawn is on a quest, and she's taking that quest on a coffeehouse tour across the country. The book-signing/wine-tasting/live musical event centers around Dawn's own quest as told in her book about her past through eating disorders and that search for that perfect body image before finding herself, God, and comfort within her own skin.

This is a free event, starting at 7 p.m. at Lovin Cup (300 Park Point Dr., lovincup.com).

MUSIC: Coming to Rochester via Detroit, the Deadstring Brothers exist at that crossroads where blues and country and rock and roll all walk together and hold hands, throwing back to the Rolling Stones and other greats.
