New House Concert Series: 313Presents

Through the suggesting of Del Ray and the national network created by Fran Snyder of Concerts in Your Home (see: concertinyourhome.com), the venerable folkie retreat formally owned by Sandy Bradley is once again hosting local and visiting artists for our community's enjoyment. Inaugerating the series on June 7th is Jean Mann (jeanmann.com), a singer-songwriters whose voice, intelligence of lyrics, and musical style remind me much of Jane Siberry.

Through the summer and into the fall we're got some amazing acts from far and wide: Bill Isles, a gifted storyteller-in-song of Duluth, MN joins us on 9 July (see:http://www.halfamind.com). We are thrilled to have been approached by the new generation of bluegrass and will host Lonesome Traveller of Colorado on 9 August. If it's just too hot inside, we'll pick a porch and take the chairs outside. Learn more about the six travellers at: http://www.myspace.com/lonesometravelerbluegrassband/.

The fall schoolbuses will be followed by Rachel Sedacca's schoolbus, and she will grace us with her artistry, remnicent of Bonnie Raitt on 21 Sept. Rachel and her schoolbus, named Patience can be learnt about at: http://www.rachelsedacca.com/.
Other acts include Dana Cooper and Cosy Sheridan in November.

We will be pleased and tickled to see people at the door who have been to our house before, as well as those who haven't. If you'd like to be on our guest 'a' list, please write email to 313presents@concertsinyourhome.com, and we'll send notice of the concerts to you. Reserving a seat can be donee at the same email address.
