Come to a house concert at Brick Hill House Concerts where I host fabulous Nationally & Internationally acclaimed artists! They may be on tour or they may live nearby. 
House concerts are becoming very popular because of the "Listening Room" quality of the performance. No TV's blaring, no bar chatter, no KENO, and wonderful sound, in a smaller room than the bigger halls; plus you are right up close.
The house concert is more like a informal party, where folks can bring what they like to drink, maybe even bring a snack to share during intermission. The suggested donation is somewhere between $15 and $20. Give what you can. My series is 100% Non-Profit. I host because I want to share these artists with my community.
I am a member of ConcertsInYourHome.com as well as Folk Alliance International.

No Mouse Music!

"Mouse Music" means (according to Chris Strachwitz and friends):


"It's been said, that "mouse music" is anything Chris Strachwitz doesn't like – and if that's true, we should be grateful that the man has such a diverse ear. According to some of our stars, "mouse music" is any music that is:
Wilson Savoy: Cheesy, with no soul.
Michael Doucet: Popular.
Laurie Lewis: White bread. Mash potatoes.
Joe Wilson: It doesn't come from anywhere.
Archie Green: Inauthentic.
Steve Earle: I have no idea...
The term is somewhat elusive.... You can come up with your own definition after seeing the film, but rest assured, non-mouse music rocks your soul and gets your feet hopping."

Allegretto Musical Instrument Demonstrations performed today for William O'Donnell's class at Harwich Tech. We had an hour program which featured Patrick O'Brien on accordion, Clayton March on mandolin and clarinet, Brenda Rogers on flute and alto flute, Denya LeVine on ukulele and penny whistle, David Macadam on various sized recorders, Lewis Masson on Highland Bagpipes, Dinah Mellin on fiddle, and Dennis Dillon on blues guitar. For information on how you can contact Allegretto Outreach call 508-255-3864. Www.allegrettocapecod.org We are supported by local Cultural Council grants and private donations. The Cape Cod Foundation oversees our Allegretto Fund in order that donors will be able to get a tax deductible donation when giving to us. our musicians are paid a minimal fee for their time in the schools. All members of Allegretto are able to make an appearance in the schools during regular school hours. Some of us are professional musicians, some are retired from long careers and love playing music and sharing the love of music with the future generations. We also can work on a sliding scale, so that our mission can be carried on: We want to spark that interest in a child so that they say to themselves "I want to learn the violin, or the trumpet or the piano" etc. Music has been taken out of many schools, and we try and bring it back, music is a vital tool in a child's academic life. It helps in concentration, it. Helps with socialization, confidence and it is known to help in a child's math abilities. So many reasons to take on lessons in music, making a lifetime friend (the instrument or two), and creating a source of pride.

About Me

My photo
Fun loving Celtic/Folk/Blues fiddle player and artist. It's more about the interaction with fellow musicians than about being a soloist! I love where I can go, in and around the tunes.. I am an illustrator and graphic artist. Love abstract art/design. One day I'd love to do a cover for The New Yorker.
