Russ & Julie's Concerts

WHAT IS A HOUSE CONCERT?

A house concert is a chance to experience music in a warm and intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room to share in a performance by one of their favorite musicians. It's a chance to meet the performers and get them to sign their CD.  A house concert is also a great social evening of friends and neighbors.

Some House Concerts fill up a couple of weeks in advance, so please RSVP early. All House Concerts begin at 8:00 P.M. unless otherwise noted. A voluntary suggested donation of $15-$20 per person to the musicians is requested. Remember, 100% of all contributions go directly to the performers!
