We are loving house concerts!

In some parts of the country, a home concert experience is a common thing. It's a natural part of the culture to be invited to enjoy a quality musical experience along with an up-close and personal encounter, with an independent artist in someone's living room. On the artistic corners of Minneapolis, neighbors gather together, appetizers to share and donations to support the artist in hand for these enjoyable community-building evenings. Throughout New England and in sectors of Colorado house concerts circuits are commonplace. Some hosts even have websites and regular concerts series with nationally touring independent artists. L.A. and Austin are other cities with lively house concert scenes.

Here are a couple great experiences we've had with house concerts within the past few months:

DEC 2009 :: Endicottage Christmas Wine & Cheese House Concert

Guests brought wine and treats to share and we celebrated the season through the music by the warm, glowing and real wood fire. We "mad-libbed" a couple Christmas carols together and had a jolly old time. more photos here.

JAN 9th, 2010 :: Prior Lake House Concert

The house concert closed out an afternoon of serving and being community together. The hosts invited guests to one or all of three segments in the day - an hour of packing meals for 1,000's of children in Haiti through the organization Feed My Starving Children followed by a Social Hour and then a concert with Heatherlyn! We served with the audience earlier in the day and got to celebrate through the music! more photos here.

JAN 16th 2010 :: Victory Muse House Concert Series

We enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries made by the gracious hosts of the Victory Muse House Concert Series. The evening honored Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. and dreams. Heatherlyn sang Mindy Smith's "Come to Jesus" for the children of Haiti, recognizing and grieving dreams shattered. Then she dedicated a song celebrating a dream-come-true for a recently published author who was in the audience! Folks sang along in harmony in this comfy and inviting home. more photos here.

Heatherlyn Music would like to bring this really cool experience to more neighborhoods and circles of friends, family and colleagues to the outskirts of the Twin Cities and across the country.

We need YOU to do this!

Here's more about how we can partner together to make this happen!

Thanks for considering!
