If you haven’t hosted a House Concert yet, please make it a new year’s resolution!

Why not invite your favourite independent musician to play for your friends family and his fans in your front room, I’ll be surprised if he/she won’t show up sometime this year and play for you, let me know about it and if The Medicine Show Radio Moose Mobile is loose is near enough we’ll come and broadcast it too. If you would like to help keep the wheels on the Hub and on The Moose become a patron at

Happy Hosting, Happy New Year - Rob Ellen

Profile Information

What is your name (and name of your House Concert if host)?: Secret Hero Concerts

Web Address: http://www.myspace.com/secretheroconcerts

Are you an artist host and/or concert goer?: Host

If host are you an open house concert? ie Can non members apply?: No

About Me: Secret Hero Concerts are intimate, warm and (mostly) acoustic concerts in Gent, Belgium. Not the big events we see a lot these days, but back to the livingroom of your house, back to the pub or in really small venues... right there where it all started. With Pieter's passion for music and Leen's passion for the social-artistic aspects of life, we want to put the pureness of music and being together in the spotlight. This is not a profitable initiative, all income goes directly to the artists: out of respect for them, for the music and for the cosy sociability. The artists are sometimes "famous", but often we offer you less known artists with lots of potential. In other words: "small heroes" who we like to give the opportunity of playing their music to a sincerely interested and listening audience. These artists already played with us:

- Isbells (b)
- Emily Jane White (us)
- Mariee Sioux (us)
- Horse Feathers (us)
- Whip (Timesbold) (us)

I am a songwriter from the States coming over to play for the first time behind the release of my new EP and album. I'm currently booking in Europe for Jan 12-29. Though I have toured extensively in the States, it's my first time across the pond, and I would be so happy just to play and make some new connections with fellow folksingers and listeners! I would especially love to open for another artist who is local to your location, if that is possible. My music is very intimate and does best in the kinds of venues you mention in your profile, so even if we cannot book a concert during this time frame, I'd be so happy to stay connected for something in the future. I love playing to small audiences, telling stories, and working without a mic or anything between me and the audience. Thank you!

My blog post on European House Concert Network is linked below, and that has links to my music. (My website is below, too.)

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration and I hope to hear from you! Happy holidays,

KENT NIELSEN (DK) – Ukulele Folk Punk / Singer/Songwriter!

"Echoes of JON LANGFORD and RYAN ADAMS. There's something more immediate about this stripped-down version of Kent Nielsen". (R2 Magazine (UK) / Peter Tomkins)

Kent Nielsen is Danish but living in Lübeck (North Germany). He’s got a history as an author, percussionist, shoe shop clerk, record label guy, mail order honcho, night porter and ukulele player a. o. But there’s one thing he’s been doing for ages – and that’s singing. At the end of 2016, he completed an old idea – his first „solo album“. Roughly half of the roots rock colored songs were written together with Stefan Kletetzka (DEEP RIVER), some were brand new while a couple dated back to Kent and Stefan’s time in ONE BAR TOWN. Four covers were added, one by JOHN HARTFORD and another three originally written by GLEN CAMPBELL, EDDIE & THE HOT RODS and C.V. JØRGENSEN featuring Kent solo on the ukulele. Three more songs, drenched in Mod and 60s sounds, were written together with Helge Reich (JAM TODAY). The album also includes guest appearances from George Whitfield (FIDDLEBOX, ex-PRESSGANG) and Martin Wenk (CALEXICO, NADA SURF, JUDITH HOLOFERNES).

The following tour took Kent through: Germany, Switzerland, England, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Incl. festivals such as: Rebellion Blackpool (three years in a row), Kirstyfest 2017 (UK), Thinking Pink Festival (UK), Punk Rock BBQ (UK), Rebellion Amsterdam (NL), Nostalgurato Fest (DK, twice) and the Winterswijk Ukulele Hotspot (NL), just to name a few. More countries are being planned for 2019.

„Between the HOT RODS and CALEXICO." (Chris Elstrodt, Folker Magazine)

Out in November, his autobiographical memoir: 'How I didn't turn out a dancer' (A co-production between the German Ventil Publishing House and Ox-Fanzine, ISBN 978-3-95575-103-6).

Mijn naam is Tim van Turenhout en ik werk als artist manager voor Jo Laureys.
Wij zouden graag komen optreden op uw huiskamer concert vanaf Juni.

Jo Laureys is een Vlaamse singer-songwriter van het Antwerpse met donkere meeslepende liedjes. Hij is op dit moment bezig met het promoten van zijn debuut EP in binnen- en buitenland. De muzikale invloeden waar hij zijn muziek op baseert zijn o.a. Ben Howard, James Vincent McMorrow, James Arthur, Lewis Capaldi, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man.

Jo heeft al een uitgebreide ervaring in het spelen in verschillende soorten optredens, gaande van optreden op de Belgische televisie, podcasts, YouTube-Sessies, tours in Scandinavië, Duitsland, de Benelex en Spanje. Ook heeft hij het openingsprogramma verzorgd voor enkele zeer getalenteerde en internationale artiesten zoals Nico Laska en Joseph & Maia op hun tours in Duitsland en Nederland.

Verder kan zijn muziek het beste voor hem spreken, daarom voeg ik ook enkele links toe: Website: www.jolaureys.com

At 0:14 on April 28, 2017, Gathering Time said…: Hi Pieter,

My name is Stuart Markus, and I am with an Americana/Roots harmony trio from New York called Gathering Time. Our latest CD, Keepsake, was #1 on Folk DJ-List (the international folk radio chart) in March 2016 with the #1 song and 5 other songs in the top 25, making us the #1 artist for the month also; we came in at #4 for the year.

Since 2012, we have often toured in partnership with an the roots/Americana singer Mara Levine. Her CD Jewels and Harmony was #1 for January 2013 and #3 for that year on the international Folk DJ chart. Typically, we do a set of our own songs as well as backing Mara on hers.

We have been booked together to play a music festival in Ehingen, Germany (near Stuttgart) on Saturday, April 14, 2018, and we're hoping to book a tour in Europe to run from around Saturday, April 7th to Sunday the 15th of next year.

The best way to describe Gathering Time is as a co-ed Crosby, Stills & Nash, with a bit of the Byrds and a jot of Joni Mitchell. Mara Levine is best known as an arranger and interpreter of American traditional songs and those by songwriters of the '60s like Tim Hardin, Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon, as well as contemporary ones.

It is worth noting that we are capable of doing either shows of mostly original songs (or in Mara’s case songs by modern songwriters) OR specialty tribute theme shows entirely of '60s American folk and folk-rock. (Information on those is listed at the 'specialty shows' page of our website. Whichever a venue prefers, we're happy to do.

Full bios, photos, music and videos of Gathering Time are available at www.gathering-time.com, www.youtube.com/gatheringtimetrio and

www.soundcloud.com/gatheringtime; information on Mara (and her music) are available at www.maralevine.com.

I'm Joanna Weston, an English singer-songwriter originally from London, now living in The Netherlands. I would love the chance to travel Europe in 2016 and meet many new people and perform my original contemporary folk style songs either solo or with other band members.

In 2014 I released my debut studio album ‘INSIDE OUT’ which is a collection of 'feel good' songs you’ll want to hear time and time again:

.. and here is a video link to 'Amy' taken from my earlier EP 'Pieces of the Puzzle', which tells the story of life long friendship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OInbbsv9CY

I hope you enjoy listening and I look forward to hearing from you about all the possibilities.

Best wishes,

At 15:50 on October 1, 2015, Low Country Hill said…: Hello Pieter,

My name is Paul Hogeterp and I am a musician/songwriter from Hamilton, Canada. In November 2014, I released my debut solo record under the moniker Low Country Hill. The self-titled record was produced by Dave King at his lovely Barn Window Studio on the outskirts of Hamilton. I am pleased that Pat Sansone from Wilco and Bill Dillon (Joni Mitchell, Robbie Robertson, Peter Gabriel) lent their playing and artistry to the record. Recently, Low Country Hill received a 2015 Hamilton Music Awards nomination in the Roots/solo category and was a Hamilton regional finalist in CBC Searchlight 2015.

I've been playing solo shows (and occasional full band performances) in central Canada throughout 2015 and hope to tour in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in late February/early March 2016. I've very much enjoyed playing house concerts in Canada and would love to make house concerts the primary focus of a tour in Europe. I appreciate the description of your intentions for your concert series and believe Low Country Hill would be a great fit for what you do.

Please check the links below to find out more about Low Country Hill:

Thanks for your time, Pieter. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kindly,

Paul
