115 House Concert

Today I went to a live folk music concert in Manchester...in someone's house. Mike and Kathy Austin have opened their home for house concerts, an event where artists perform inside homes instead of traditional venues. House concerts provide an intimate setting for performers and audience members.

This was the second show for the Austins, hosting Annie and Rod Capps with Jason Dennie. They played two 45-minute sets with time for crowd interaction in-between.
If you haven't attended one of the Austin's shows yet, you definitely should. The music sounded great and all the Austins asked for is a donation of roughly $10, with all the money going to the artist.
The next concert is scheduled for Sept. 24 with blues/folk artist John Latini, who has been nominated for four Detroit Music Awards this year.
