Knight Road House Concerts is the name we gave our private listening parties for our friends. We welcome new friends who love live music, but you must get in touch ahead of time to get an invitation. Reservations are required for all shows to ensure everyone gets a seat. ![[Maiah Wynne at Knight Road House Concerts.jpg]] A house concert is just what the name suggests: a concert in a house. More accurately, it is really a concert in a home since the word house doesn’t convey the sense of warmth and welcome that characterizes a house concert. House concerts are magical for both the musicians and the listeners. Everyone is together, up close and personal, the musicians to play and the audience to listen. Our home is in Scio Township. Our shows feature acoustic musicians performing folk, acoustic, singer/songwriter, traditional, bluegrass, and blues music. During the summer, weather permitting, the shows are in the backyard. ![[Dana Cooper at Knight Road House Concerts.jpg]] We request an artist donation for the musicians. This is a voluntary donation. All of the donations go directly to the musician. We suggest an amount to help the musicians get paid. They only get donations, merchandise sales, and a place to stay with meals. If the suggestion is more than you feel comfortable with, we still welcome you to attend and contribute what you can once you have an invitation. What’s in it for us? We hear great musicians play in our backyard and living room and share the music with our friends. House concerts are a social occasion – we start off with a potluck of food and wine brought to share and a chance for everyone to visit. Usually, the musicians play two sets. We’ve been doing this for a while, previously in Chicago, Illinois where we hosted [Windy City House Concerts](https://houseconcerts.wordpress.com/) from 2012 until 2020 and in Las Cruces, New Mexico where we hosted [Las Alturas House Concerts](https://houseconcerts.wordpress.com/what-is-a-house-concert/las-alturas-house-concerts/) from 2007 until 2012. Our house is smoke-free.
