Lots of excited feedback from the people I'm talking to. Once they experience it that first fime, people fall in love with house concerts. If you were at or heard about how incredible the Jason Wilber show was I want to say that I really think Tim's show may surprise you even more. As a matter of fact they play shows together and are of the same incredibly high songwriting standard. This is going to be another amazing experience so please come and please bring any family and friends you think may enjoy it.
We've been talking it up for months but we need to get firm RSVPs from everybody starting now. Another blast of emails are going out today to the list we've built up, please reply with a firm yes to no right away so we can tell where we're at on the attendance. Remember, this is a "word of mouth" co-op and you, as a good homegrown music citizen, are a critical part in rounding up friends to bring with you.. Those of us that are putting this on are doing it for you and we count on you to reach out to others to help it grow.
On this show we're going to use the system that Parke and I first talked about last year: you buy a CD for $15 and get to see show without any donation. Tim Grimm was very cool with that idea and it just makes it really affordable for everybody. People buy a CD and get them autographed at these events anyway and helping artists sell CDs was the idea from the beginning so..... it's just a win-win situation for everybody.
Also, we've agreed that a family only needs to spend a max of $30 to get their whole crew in. Meaning that if you have a family of five, all we ask is that two of the adults buy a CD (he has many different titles) for a total of $30. If it's one adult and several kids, just buy one CD. We want to make it affordable for everybody while at the same time getting the CDs into people's hands. It's a potluck dinner so the $15 or $30 gets you a priceless CD, an amazing living room concert and feeds you and/or your whole family. Any one of those three things has gotta be worth $30. Right? The new slogan should be "Such A Deal Sunday House Has For You!" :)
Another thing that we ask is that you buy a CD from the opening act if you can swing it. At this show Parke will be opening. We know that some people already have Parke's great CD but if you don't please buy it. We are promoting Parke, Mitch Webb and The Swindles, Glenn and Kim, The Lavens and other local artists and during the course of these house concerts we ask that you support their recording efforts by buying and spreading the word about their CDs.
SO.... PLEASE don't just surprise us, RSVP for yourself and your family and try to encourage other music fans to come. We really look forward to another great afternoon with all our old and new friends and Mr. Tim Grimm.
