________________________________________________________________________________________________
House Concerts and other:
House concerts
are a unique, more personal setting to hear singer/songwriters
play their music, talk about their influences and share some insight
into the craft of songwriting.
The intimate
setting allows you to get to know the artist in a more personal
way. They are also a great way for artists to play
a smaller show on their way to a larger event, helping with their
expenses.
Though each house
concert may vary in concept, most house concerts are non-profit
with all donations going directly to the artist.
These are people whose only motive is the joy in bringing
people together for the enjoyment of good music.
If you would
like to host a House Concert, or a series of House Concerts, please
contact us for more info.
Here are some
House Concerts that are worth checking out:
