I love playing House Concerts. They are a completely different experience from a club show. All of the artifice is stripped away. No stage, no dressing room, no barrier between the performer and the audience. The shows seem like one step closer to the way music was intended--traveling from town to town, telling stories and making friends.

Most of the people I've met in the house concert world were a little surprised at first to find that such a thing was even possible. Could it be that simple to open your living room to 50 or 60 friends and local music fans and then have a face from your record collection come to life, taking requests, meeting your kids and asking where to lay his coat?

It's easy. Just contact me and tell me how you want to do the show, offer up a date and if it's within striking distance of other gigs I'm doing, I'll try and make it happen.
