• Listening to folk music in a casual home setting, chatting with the artist, hearing stories behind the songs, building community through shared music, hospitality, and real conversation are what house concerts are all about.

    • What is a house concert? A living room listening experience. Read more. 
    • A house concert is a living room listening experience. 20–30 guests focused on the music. Chatting before and after the music, not during.  A solo or duo acoustic artist performing for 60 to 90 minutes.  Maybe an intermission or maybe a straight through set.

       

      Guests can meet the artist, hear the stories behind the songs, and enjoy light refreshments.  Build community through shared music and genuine connection.

       

      The performers make their living through their music. We support them by providing a welcoming venue and an engaged audience.  House concerts are not open to the general public and do not sell tickets. The artists rely on guest donations.  Suggested minimum donation is $20 per person.

       

      House concerts run on trust—between hosts, performers, and guests—and they thrive on community involvement. You can participate by attending, spreading the word, helping organize and or bringing refreshments. You are welcome here.
