Danielle Howle: House Concert on Oct. 26
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 tradition of house concerts goes back generations to Appalachian traditions. A performer en route between gigs may have had an 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.
In the modern twist on a house concert, guests pay a small admission fee and bring a snack to share, their own adult beverages and chairs. Get tickets here.
So that’s what’s going on October 26 – a house concert featuring the fabulous Danielle Howle. If you aren’t familiar with Danielle’s work, you need to be! Friend her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter @DanielleHowleMusic and Insta @dmfhowle.
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” on Columbia stages. Over the years, she has shared the stage with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Mark Bryan. Last year's house concert was the launch of her new CD, and the year before, it was her send-off to a tour with the Indigo Girls. This will be her fifth concert at Chez 1425, so I’m thrilled she can do this again.
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.
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 $20 tix in advance on Danielle's website. Once you pay for the tickets, Danielle will send you an email with directions to the house. Kids are welcome, and those under 12 are free. No pets, please.
