Plan to attend and need the address? Click the "Your Price" button below to RSVP and, if you choose, support the artist through a pay-what-you-can ticket setup! Additional concert info below.

Bring a chair! A blanket! Bug spray! Join us for a backyard concert with Martha and Colin. Kids are invited, and there will be an area at the back of yard to hang out with them if they get a little antsy. Food @ 4:30pm; Music @ 5:15pm.

Never been to a house concert? Different from a house party, this is a listening event, where I will share original songs and stories. The hosts will provide light food and drinks, and the music will last for about 1 hour.

This is a pay-what-you-can event with an option to support the artist when you "purchase" a ticket below ($0 or add a donation!) once you arrive - or don't! "Pay-what-you-can" also means you are welcome regardless of your ability to pay.

See you soon!
