Backyard House Concerts

08/25/2014

Backyard House Concerts is back! I re-activated the website today, and just sent out the first newsletter since January. Of course, I was editing it on two different machines while having internet problems, so the volume and number are wrong, but who cares? It's the content that counts, right? And that content says we'll be having a concert with Claudia Nygaard's Music on 9/6, our neighbor Holly Brewer will be hosting a concert with Annalise Emerick on 9/7, and we'll be getting Thom Lyons back up here for a show at the end of Sept. Yay, music! :-)

More details tomorrow, but we've got a last-minute show added with Natalie Gelman this Saturday! Doors will open at 7, music will start about 7:30. We'll make it a potluck. Come join us if you can!

A visit that started with Jack Brown's "adventurous" train ride from Portland Wednesday night, ended with sorbet in downtown Seattle Friday evening, and had some great times (and music!) in between! For the full story (and more pictures!), please visit the blog: http://www.backyardhc.com/blog

We had a fun night last Thursday with Rupert Wates! Nice voice, great guitar work, engaging stories, and a quiet little acoustic song circle at the end. What more can you ask for? For the full concert report, please visit the blog: http://www.backyardhc.com/blog

Last night was fabulous, with something a little different: Nathen Aswell on his NS Stick! I made Carribean Sweet Potato Coconut Soup and a kale salad, LouAnn brought strawberries, and JulieAnn brought an amazing strawberry salad straight from her garden *and* some homemade lemonade. Finish that off with fantastic music, and you've got yourself a great night! For the full concert report, visit the blog: http://www.backyardhc.com/blog

Last Thursday was our concert with Gabrielle Louise. Gabrielle's afternoon started with a bit of an adventure (don't worry - it all worked out well). She gave a great featured performance, and we had another fabulous song circle. The black bean soup and corn bread seemed to go over rather well, also, given that there wasn't any left at the end of the night (and I made a lot of soup!).
