Shaun Hopper House Concert
The house concerts I love most are the ones that remind us that we are in this big, old thing called life together. Last night, Shaun Hopper brought us together with his music, but he reminded us of our shared humanity in few different ways too.Read More »Shaun Hopper House Concert
Analog Feast House Concert
One of the cool things about house concerts, and there are many things, is that you experience music you might not normally search out. Last night was one of those nights that took me outside of my musical comfort zone. I got to experience a full night of jazz created by Analog Feast.Read More »Analog Feast House Concert
8 Ball Aitken House Concert
April is looking like a concert-riffic month. I started off by seeing Antsy McClain (blog post here) as part of the Listening Room Festival (LRF), and I experienced the music of many of the LRF artists at the finale.
Last night I had the pleasure of experiencing 8 Ball Aitken‘s music.Read More »8 Ball Aitken House Concert
LRF Finale 2016
Oh, bittersweet endings. Yesterday was the last day of the 2016 Listening Room Festival.
If you live in the Tampa Bay area, and you didn’t experience either one of the showcases (more here) or a house concert this week (one example here), you really missed out. Such amazing musicians came from across the country and beyond to show Florida their stuff.Read More »LRF Finale 2016

Rupert Wates
Oh what a musical January I’ve had! (here, here, and here). I even had a last minute drop in to the country, Western opening act (Michael Claytor & Sam Moss) to The Hideaway Cafes Soul Saturday last night.
Interesting to have a country, Western group before a soul show. Also hilarious. I particularly liked the song about a man marrying an alien.
Rupert Wates helped round out the month at a lovely house concert. Read More »Rupert Wates
