What is a house concert, you ask?
A house concert is just what it would seem to be.......it's a concert at our house. It's in our backyard, actually. The musicians play on our deck under the big oak tree. You, the listener, stake out a spot on our lovely, spacious backyard, get comfortable, relax and enjoy the music. A house concert is a great way to see talented, renowned artists in a private, intimate setting.
What should I bring, you ask?
Cash dollars for a donation to the performers. Suggested donations will vary by artist, but will usually be in the $10 range. Kids under 18 are free. You can find the suggested donation amount for each artist when they are spotlighted on the home page. 100% of your donation goes to the artist.
* Money for CDs or other merchandise the peformers will have for sale after the show.
* Blankets or lawn chairs.
* Food and beverage of your choice. Pack a picnic. Bring a cooler. Please drink responsibly.
* Friends, family and neighbors. Anyone you think will enjoy the show.
What's the catch, you ask?
We want everyone to have a great time at The Wyldwood.
To ensure this, we've come up with a few House Rules:
* #1 Rule - respect the musicians, those around you, and our property.
* Well behaved kids (and adults) are always welcome, but please review Rule #1.
* Sorry, no dogs. They poop. And eat our chickens.
* Smoking permitted, but no littering.
* Please pick up your trash. Lets keep it clean.
* Play nice.
Who are you, you ask?
Andrew and Amy Murphy.
We live in Deep South Austin...AKA The Wyldwood....AKA The Woodpecker Ranch. We love and support all kinds of music, but franklly we've gotten tired of the club scene. Henceforth, we are bringin' the music home. If you haven't been to our house yet, let us invite you over: Make a reservation for a show and we'll send you a map.
