In the 1990s, coffee houses became something more than places to grab a drink. They were gathering spots, listening rooms, and quiet refuges where singer-songwriters found an audience that wanted honesty more than spectacle. Acoustic guitars, steady voices, and thoughtful lyrics shaped a side of the decade that felt grounded and deeply personal.

This Gen X Five-Shot steps back into that world, revisiting the songs that defined the coffee house revival. Five tracks that carried warmth, reflection, and emotional clarity during a decade that often moved too fast.

Five songs. One unmistakable mood.

Settle in and enjoy the rewind.
