Danielle Howle: House Concert Nov. 10
House concert: (hous
KON-sert) - A gathering of friends and neighbors in an intimate home setting to
celebrate and support local musicians.
OK … so I kind of made up that definition, but
that does describe the concept.
The practice of house concerts goes back generations to Appalachian traditions. A performer en route between gigs may have had a open night to play at a host’s home along the way in exchange for a good meal and place to lay his head. The host would charge a small ticket price with proceeds going to the performer.
So that’s what’s going on November 10 – a house concert featuring the fabulous Danielle Howle.
And to make it even more exciting ... Danielle released her new record on November 3 in Charleston, and this house concert will be the first time she'll be performing from it in Columbia. Get a sneak peek in this video. Or watch this TV interview on Fox 24 Charleston.
I’ve loved Danielle’s
music for many years going back to when she got started in the early 90s as
“Danielle Howle and the Tantrums.”
Over the years, she has shared the stage with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Mark Bryan. Danielle has already done three house concerts at Chez 1425, so I’m thrilled she can do this again.
And in the spirit of a true house concert, we'll have chili and fixins, bring whatever you want to sip and a snack to share...this is potluck at its best!
You can get your $15 tix in advance on Danielle's website. Or if you plan to pay when you get there, just shoot me an email so we have a good count. Kids are welcome, and those under 12 are free.

If the weather holds, we’ll be outside with
the fire pit and string lights. There will be a few chairs, or bring your own or a blanket for picnic-style
seating if you want. If we have to move inside, we’ll just wedge into the
living room.
