Our house concert series in Norfolk, Virginia, features some of the best contemporary singer/songwriters in the land.
Past performers include Kim Richey (above), Dave Alvin, Jimmy LaFave, Kevin Welch, Peter Case, Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell, Mary Gauthier, Greg Trooper, Don Dixon and Marti Jones, Amy Rigby, Garland Jeffreys, Steve Forbert, Eliza Gilkyson, Jeff Black, Jim Lauderdale and Chris Smither. Our tenth anniversary season ended with a superb show by Steve Forbert. We're settled in for the winter and a few indoor shows.
We are now taking reservations for our show on Saturday, Jan. 28, with Nora Jane Struthers.

What is a House Concert? Just what it sounds like. We book a performer, set up chairs, sound and lights and put out a few snacks. It's an intimate, smoke-free evening of music. All money collected through the donation at the door goes to the performer. In fact, money comes out of our pocket for each show.
