Postcrypt Coffeehouse is an all-acoustic music venue in the basement of St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University in New York City, run completely by students. Founded in 1964, Postcrypt has hosted many up-and-coming folk musicians, including Jeff Buckley, Dar Williams, Shawn Colvin, and Ani DiFranco. Additionally, Suzanne Vega, a graduate of Barnard College, returns to Postcrypt each Spring to play one secret concert. The young folk singer Anthony da Costa performs there regularly, and Mary Lee Kortes, of the band Mary Lee's Corvette, has played there along with her husband, the guitarist and producer Eric Ambel. Postcrypt is one of the few free, all volunteer-run venues in New York. Its size is also notable: according to the fire code, it can legally only host 35 people at a time, giving the venue a very intimate feel, and making it possible to have music without any sort of amplification.HistoryThe venue was established in 1964 with the help of the campus chaplain, Reverend John Cannon. Cannon and student Dotty Sutherland cleaned and redecorated a small storage room in the basement of the chapel, transforming it into Postcrypt.Despite popular conceptions, the Postcrypt location was never a "crypt," but rather a storage closet in the basement of the chapel; it takes its name from the Søren Kierkegaard book, Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments. This was then shortened to C.U (the initials for Columbia University) Postcrypt to reflect the fact that the venue was in the basement of the chapel.

The Postcrypt Coffeehouse, established in 1964, features professional, amateur, and student performers every Friday and Saturday night throughout the academic year from 8:30 to 11:30 pm. Admission is always free and open to all and our shows and regular open-stages bring in a diversity of music and artists. From blues, folk, jazz, rock, country, a capella, and performace arts such as poetry, comedy, and storytelling -Postcrypt has it all- with the strict rule that everything has to be acoustic. We believe in an accessible and friendly atmosphere for artists to share their craft, so, our artists (local as well as from around the country) perform for small audiences without microphones. Some of the more well-known artists who have graced our stage include: David Bromberg, Jeff Buckley, Shawn Colvin, Ani DiFranco, Suzanne Vega, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Dar Williams. Postcrypt is completely student run and non-profit, and is the only free venue of its kind in the New York area. Our devoted volunteers listen to demos, book artists, manage the business, work in the bar, and interact with our guests who range from age 10 to age 80. Many of these guests come from Morningside Heights and have been with Postcrypt for decades. Known nationally as a fantastic folk music site, Postcrypt was recently listed in the Lonely Planet Guide to New York City. All-in-all, Postcrypt is a key way for Columbia University to interact with neighborhood residents, for students to discover new (and old) music, and for aspiring musicians to come into their own.
