What is a House Concert?
A. A house concert is a chance to experience live 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 with friends and neighbors. Some house concert series across the country are held in backyards as well. We like to keep ours in the living room for the added sense of warmth and intimacy that it lends to the evenings. We also host concerts all year long — between ten and twelve each year. Some house concert series are seasonal. Please note: “Russ & Julie’s House Concerts” is simply the name we choose to describe our private parties, in our private home. These parties are NOT a business nor are they a business related activity. They are strictly a hobby for us, and are simply gatherings of our friends and guests to enjoy live acoustic music, fell
It’s simply a concert at someone’s house, with the emphasis on “concert”. (Not to be confused with a “house party”.) At its best, a house concert provides music lovers an intimate concert experience, and gives performers an attentive and appreciative audience. Wikipedia (of course) has a pretty good description of a house concert. In San Diego County, we’re lucky to have quite a few ongoing house concert series. Our links page will direct you to these.
