12. Ah, a house concert...

They really are wonderful intimate events and without the blossoming house concert movement so many great musicians would not be able to play enough paying gigs to sustain the costs of most tours. Our shows are essentially house concerts except they are held in a public venue; a 115 year old train station now museum. The old waiting room holds about 50 people and is all hard wood, including a domed wooden ceiling.

Usually we only book musicians that we have seen play live, Matt and Shannon are an exception to that. They came to us via other two musicians who we respect a lot; "Mike and Ruthy". Matt and Shannon get great reviews, we went to their web site and that sealed the deal. Glad to hear you enjoyed them so much!
