House Concerts
We host compact concerts with remarkable musicians in our living room about every six weeks.
100%…
…of the proceeds concerts at our house go to the artists. Many outstanding musicians are working really hard to keep making music. We want to support them, get to know them, and keep them playing, singing, and writing songs.
Come join us and discover music and artists you might not encounter otherwise. Think of it as escaping the algorithm and feeling the music in real life.

She taught guitar, baffling this beginner with moveable chord shapes. She was so patient. But then I heard her sing at the faculty concert. That changed…

Hi! John and Laurelyn here.
We have a simple aim in mind: live a little more each day in such a way that when we die, we have few regrets. Not a life of more, but a life that is rich, deep, and connected to people, those we love and whoever we encounter.
Take a look at Laurelyn’s art and consider joining us for a house concert.
