We had a couple of great house concerts in 2023. One compelling evening was spent enjoying Anse Rigby, whom Luc and I had had the pleasure of working with as actors in his video, Cold on the Mountain filmed by JB Lawrence. Anse brought heartwarming stories and beautiful acoustic music to our stage. He is a wonderful artist with a lot to offer any audience. Another was Vasti Jackson, The Mississippi Burner, who shares his unique style of blues around the world. He graced us with a private show and some music education along with it.
We also had a short, private show from a budding little artist who still has a long way to go, but has none-the-less shown she has a knack for playing and singing. She has already given herself a stage name: “May May Green”! Maybe we’ll see more of her in the future. 😁
Now for current news! 2024 holds a couple of upcoming music events that you will not want to miss. The afternoon of April 21st, we’ll host a good old fashioned free jam with everyone welcome. Just bring your drinks and a food dish or snack and join us for great fun and a variety of music in a really laid back setting. We’ll have friends visiting from Belgium then too, so that’ll make things even more interesting!
Also, on the evening of May 1st, we’ll present a very special house concert featuring Verlon Thomson, an incredibly entertaining singer-songwriter-musician coming to us from Nashville, Tennessee. In February, Verlon will be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame alongside over 100 other great Okie musicians, many of whom he counts as his personal heroes. I guarantee it will be a beautiful evening and guests will leave fulfilled.
We’ll send invitations with details via Messenger to those who have expressed interest, but only 30-35 seats are available for house concerts. So, please keep that in mind.
We hope to see you soon, especially since we head back to Belgium for a while ourselves May 7th.
