2012 dates available soon

Artists and patrons:  Thanks for your patience, it's been a whirlwind holiday season.  Laurie and I will be figuring out the available dates for 2012 this weekend and then I'll contact artists in the order your requests came in.  Everyone will receive a response, thanks!!  ~Tom~

Excellent show to close 2011

Thanks so much to DANIEL BOLING and his wife Ellen.  This was the perfect show to close out our 2011 season, and our audience concurs!

  We'll be posting our plans for the 2012 season soon, stay tuned! ~Tom and Laurie~

Next Show - Saturday Nov. 19

Next Show - Saturday November 19

For our next house concert we are proud to present singer/songwriter Daniel Boling.

I first heard Daniel performing at a large folk conference last year.  This year he is a featured performer at that conference!  I suggest you visit his website before coming to the show, you'll see and hear why we chose him to close out our 2011 concert season.  He is a great storyteller with a warm personality and a somewhat sideways sense of humor.

Please note that this is the last show we will be hosting before ol' man winter sets in, so you definitely do not want to miss it!

This SUNDAY September 18- Womack Family Band!

A show you won't want to miss!!

Our next concert will be an afternoon show this Sunday September 18; potluck luncheon at 1PM (bring a dish to share), concert at 2PM.  We will be hosting The Womack Family Band.  They are fantastic, amazing voices, great songs and talented musicians.  You won't be disappointed!  RSVP to me now!

A taste of the Womack Family Band

Here's a video of the Womack Family Band from the first part of their Drenched Earth tour featuring Chris Castle.  Be sure to see them live at our next HHCS on September 18!

Early update for September 2011

Greetings -

We have many types of audience members; planners (like my wife) and laggers (like me).  For you planners out there, here's the early news for September.

NEXT HHCS SHOW:

Our next concert will be an afternoon show on Sunday September 18; potluck luncheon at 1PM (bring a dish to share), concert at 2PM.  We will be hosting The Womack Family Band.  They are fantastic, amazing voices, great songs and talented musicians.  You won't be disappointed!

WE STILL NEED FEEDBACK:

We're considering hosting an additional series called Dinner And Song.  These shows will be "cozier", with less guests.  The plan is to have a "non formal" sit down dinner with guests and the artist (as opposed to the potluck we have for the full size shows), then have the performer(s) play for us.  As with regular HHCS shows we would ask for a suggested cash donation, all for the artist.  What do you think?  Would you attend if you could?  Please let me know your thoughts.  You can see a short online video here that describes the concept in greater detail.  THANKS!

More info soon!!  ~Tom~

The Newsletter- we need feedback please

Greetings fans of the Hitt House Concert Series- I have some info and questions for you below.  Please read this when you have some time, it will really be a big help for us as we try to improve your experience with our concert series.

THE JULY 15 SHOW DEBRIEF:

Wow, what a great response we've had to our concert series in one short year!  The Amy Petty show was great, thanks so much to those of you who attended.  Amy posted on FB right after the show and said "Tuckered out after an awesome Hitt House Concert. House Concerts are my faaaavorite and this one goes down as one of the best!"  

I wanted you HHCS fans to know, because you're the reason our concerts succeed.  FYI, Amy Petty's Facebook page is right here if you'd like to keep up with her.

Also- thanks to those of you who added your email addy's to our list.  It really helps us keep in touch with you easily.

TWO IMPORTANT REQUESTS:

I realize everyone is busy, but we can really use your help in two ways.  First, please tell your friends and family about our house concert series.  It's as simple as forwarding this link with a quick note at the top like "I'm really enjoying a local concert event series, here's more information about it; hope you can join us!"

Second, please email us with any positive comments you have about the show(s) you've seen here at HHCS.  Your personal comments give us invaluable street cred.  AND - we also want your feedback about what we can do better to make the experience more comfortable for you--  thanks!

LAST ITEM:

I wanted to remind you that I myself have a new CD release out called 'Scribe And Jester'.  I will be hosting a CD Release open house on Saturday July 30 from 1:00-3:30PM at the Lincoln Community Center, 1255 Manchester Rd, Erie, PA, 16505 (the room is in the new Erie County Library Branch near Fairview PA).  I'll be spinning tracks from the disc, playing songs live, and chatting with you!  You can also meet Bryan Toy there, he's the graphic artist who did all of the amazing cover art.  It's an open house, so come in when you can, leave when you need to.  I really hope you can join us.

Whew!  That's it for now!  Please remember to forward this to folks with impeccable taste in music... like you!  THANKS SO MUCH!!  See you... In Septe- ember... (doo doo doo...)
