There are very few things as fun as talking about possible band names, and almost nothing more excruciating for an artist than actually settling upon a band name. In my limited experience it’s kind of like looking for a Christmas tree or picking out new furniture. There is a lot of “how about this one?” […]
House Concert Announcement: Winters Is Coming!
If I were to put to paper a list of artists I would most like to host for a house concert in 2017, Zach Winters would be on that list. He would be near the top. His new album “To Have You Around” is currently my favorite. Its subtle instrumentation and memorable lines have been […]
FEB EXTREME!
Have you heard of The Extreme Tour? Me either…until a few months ago when we were contacted by one of their A&R Representatives. After some email exchanges (and social media stalking) it didn’t take long to decide that it was a legitimate opportunity that we should pursue. Over the past several weeks we have completed […]

Here are some pictures: Those of you who have been following along already know how much we’ve wanted to use our home as a venue for our Flat […]
House Concert Boxscore: FAFED
It was a beautiful day. Especially warm for late February. THE SET UP The “stage” area and backdrop were lined with white Christmas lights. A grey sheet hung in the back on the left to serve as a projection screen for a video prepared by the Schraders. The Korg Triton keyboard was set to […]

House Concert Boxscore: Mitch McVicker
There I sat with roughly a million questions and curiosities, but asking none of them. Making conversation over a bowl of soup, and staying focused on being a good host. I had been listening to Mitch McVicker’s The Grey and Underneath albums for weeks on Spotify as I looked forward to the concert. I also watched The […]
House Concert Announcement!
It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready to host our first house concert. (Yes…remember…The Gray Havens?) That was a good time. Friends, fun, food, and great music. But, it wasn’t yesterday. It was six months ago! And now, it’s time to do it again. Without further delay, we are pleased to announce that Dove […]
