Thursday, October 9th, 2008 9:17 AM The future of "Live" Music for kids... I’m so glad you’re reading this and I hope as you read on you’ll get excited about the prospect of hosting a House Concert in your home. I think "live" music is really special. I also believe whenever people have the opportunity to experience "live" music together amazing things can happen. We become connected in so many ways and on so many unique levels experiencing life in the moment. When you add to that the opportunity to share this unique experience with children it makes it even more of a wonder, to remember for a moment what the world looks like through our children’s eyes. Finding opportunities and venues to present "live" music for kids and families is getting harder all the time. That’s why when I heard of the growing trend in House Concerts happening around the country I got really excited. It sounds like a great way to present "live" music to family audiences in a safe and relaxed environment. Our homes represent places of nurturing and love, our children are the objects of that love and what better place for a family concert. If you’re not familiar at all with this idea of House Concerts check out this definition: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The definition of house concert is not definite but is generally taken as a concert that's presented in someone's home, or a nearby private space, for example a barn or back yard. Usually, but not always, the audience capacity is smaller than at a coffeehouse or club. The money collected usually (but not always) goes straight to the performers, with no "profit motive" on the presenter's part. Often, but not always, house concerts are conducted "by invitation" (for practical reasons), rather than as "public" concerts like a club or concert hall. Often - again with exceptions - there is little or no "sound system" - performers play and sing acoustically, unless someone needs a little amp for their keyboard. Refreshments, if any, are usually either a "pot luck" brought by the listeners, or provided by the hosts using a bit of the gate receipts. Sometimes - but definitely not always - the performers get a meal and/or lodging with the presenters as part of their compensation. So what do you think? I would love to talk to you more about the possibility of coming to your town to present an evening or afternoon of "music to make memories by". If you’ve got a little space, a few chairs (kids can sit on the floor... they prefer it in fact) several families and friends from your church, school or neighborhood you could invite… we can have a concert! Drop me an e-mail or give me a call and we can discuss the details… Next page >> Until next time... Shine Bright! House Concerts... "There's no place like home".  Click for Info "A house concert is a chance to experience music in a warm and intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room to share in a performance by one of their favorite musicians. It's a chance to meet the performers and get them to sign their CD. A house concert is also a great social evening of friends and neighbors." - Russ and Julie's House Concerts House concerts are a wonderful grass roots phenomenon where touring musicians and developing local talent alike perform in the comfortable intimacy of private homes and similar non traditional spaces. They are fun to attend, fun to present and fun to play. If you would like to help promote "live" music for kids and families by sponsoring a house concert let me know. People all over the country have been presenting house concert with great success. Call my office 330.482.1008 today and let's talk about the possibilities of a House Concert in your town.
