I usually know who I am going to see, but last night's performers were new to me. Known as Big Wide Grin, Elaine Dempsey, L.E. (Lawrence) Lambert and Karl Werne have bee
n a musical team for ten years and it shows. They are best known for their harmonies but I was Karl's guitar playing that really got the crowd going. With his long hair and bare feet, he looks like a throw back to the 70's. That is not a bad thing. Lawrence can light up any room with his glowing smile and soft vocals and Elaine brings her own special energy to the show.They performed a mix of covers and originals, all of which were very accessible and easy to get into. Two sets just flew by. Check them out if you get a chance. The calendar page of their website will let you know when they are in your area.

Thank you for visiting..I looked at Shimoda's dream as well....lovely photos and stories. I'll be back...I enjoyed your posts. We live on 16 acres in the forest...wouldn't need to use the living room...we could have a great time outside! But then it wouldn't be a house concert would it?
I haven't been to a house concert in months, but it is a great way to see a show.
Thanks for visiting my blog... That house concert looked like fun. I love live music....I even enjoy it when it's not very good....
Thanks for visiting me! :-)
A house concert---what a cool idea! Will have to go check it out. That would make a wonderful gathering or party! Thanks for sharing something new!
I've been to a few of these kinds of concerts. Always an intimate setting and usually very talented folks who may not necessarily have made any kind of name for themselves.
Sounds like an amazing time!!!
Oooh sounded like you guys had fun :)
Sounds like fun and it's nice to see you are an enthusiastic blogger like myself! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I look forward to staying connected to you, God willing.
Thanks for visiting and commenting over at my blog.
I love music and personally enjoy really small venues; in my living room would be ideal. What a grand idea.
xo
house concerts are so cool. the last one i went to was a jazz one, but it's been a while since. i'm gonna see if i can find any coming up now. thanks for inspiring me! :)
Sounds like fun! Thanks for stopping by my blog. My brother is also a massage therapist. I have never been to Austin, but hear it is a neat place. I like Austin City Limits!
I've never been to a house concert before. Then again, I've only ever been to one regular concert before.
That sounds like it would be a better way to see a performance, up close and personal.
i love music by unsigned artists in some cozy out of the way bar. so a house party sounds perfect!
excuse me. i meant to say "house concert".
house party sounds like some college co-eds drinking from a keg.
Well, there's hardly room in my living to play a harmonica, let alone host a concert, but it sounds like a fun thing to do.
You know, we fill our houses full of the things we love, we decorate them to match our style - and then we leave them to go work, to socialize, to be entertained, to worship. Doesn't seem right to me.
