Raleigh House Concert

(Privately Held; Internet industry)

December 2008 — October 2009 (11 months)

A house concert is a chance to experience live music in a warm and intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room to share in a performance by one of their favorite musicians. It's a chance to meet the performers and get them to sign their CD. A house concert is also a great social evening with friends and neighbors.
