Highlands House Concerts

If you’ve never been to a house concert, you’ve missed seeing music in the coolest surroundings ever. Imagine seeing a nationally renowned act in the comfort of someone’s living room! You can’t ask for a more intimate setting to see and hear an artist perform. I’ve seen around a dozen or so shows here and I’ve never been disappointed with the music or the experience. The set up goes something like this. The door charge is typically $ 15 to $ 20 per seat and the artist (s) is paid 100% of the money. The homeowner donates the room, the sound, and this great environment out of his own love of music. Reservations are pretty much required because every show I’ve seen there has been sold out well in advance (the room only holds around 40 people). Some food and drink is provided by the host but you’re encouraged to bring food or drink to share also. Just a few of the artists I’ve had the pleasure of hearing are the National Slide guitar champ Kraig Kenning, the Rhythm Angels (which is comprised of Celeste Krenz and Rebecca Folsom), the Matt Flinner Trio (AMAZING well, really every show is great but man!), the Boulder Acoustic Society and the show I saw this evening was two virtuoso guitarists Ross Martin and Grant Gordy (they were mind-​blowing!),. If you have the chance, do yourself (and your ears and eyes) a favor. If you like music, you’ll love this!
