My hope is we'll all use this area as a forum for debating the important issues of modern life and what role music has in this new world order, and where house concerts fit in <;-)> Plenty of time for all that, (20 or 30 years before the ice caps melt by liberal estimates). So lets have some fun and get to know each other a bit first. Please feel free to add anything here that tickles your fancy.

What is a House Concert?
It's the hippest, most viable and rewarding venue option for folk/roots musicians today - and you can host one in your living room!You can be a House Concert host!
And here's how ...
I can't charge my friends money!
What's in it for me?

How long do artists play?
Artists normally play a 45 minute listening set (house concerts are not parties; folks really sit and listen - up close and personal) and then take a 15-20 minute break for socializing, selling CDs and refreshments. Then, one more 45 minute set and that's a wrap.Where do I sign up?
Fancy doing a house concert but don't have a front room big enough?

This gig should be in black and white….and slightly scratchy around the edges. Even before the Wiyos play a note you are transported back to a pre-war movie-hall. This is the look and sound of Dylan’s Theme Time brought up to date, no wonder they appealed to his Bobness enough to accompany him on tour. Indeed, they would probably make his ideal backing band in heaven should he ever need them.
