Last year, there was not a July show because of the heat. This year, I'm glad that I chose not to skip the month. Jack Williams rolled into town in his van to play a show I'd wanted to book since I'd met him at Folk Alliance in February, 2001...more

This night promised all kinds of adventure, fun and music.

And a lucky full house did just that. more...

October 5, 2000 - The Clear and Poetry by Lizzie Wann

When finished with my performance of spoken word, I took over hosting duties again and welcomed The Clear to the house.  I also made it known that this show would be the last they would do as The Clear.  As the night progressed, the truth of this fact was settling into everyone in the room and the passion and intensity created between Matthew, Jennifer and Mark became almost tangible....more

August 24, 2000 - Lisa Sanders and Peggy Watson

The Wednesday before this house concert, I received a call from KPBS radio.  It went something like, "Lisa and Peggy are coming on the show before the house concert and we'd like to do a phone interview with you from your living room."  The show is The Lounge and airs on KPBS 89.5 FM (in San Diego) for an hour and starts at 6:30 pm.  The house concerts usually start at 8 pm. It might be a little rushed for them, but the fact that Lisa Sanders and Peggy Watson would be playing live on-air and the Meeting Grace house concert series would get a nod from the radio public was too much to pass up....more

July 20, 2000 - Joel Rafael Band

With the framed visage of Woody Guthrie looking on, the Joel Rafael Band brought his spirit directly into the house.  With candid stories straight from Woody's hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma from where the band had just returned, Joel reminded us all of the roots that had brought us all into this particular living room on a hot July night.....more

March 9, 2000 - Gregory Page, Berkley Hart, Dead Rock West

As guests to the first show of Meeting Grace house concerts approached the house, there was no mistake which one it was. A large cloth banner displaying the Meeting Grace logo hung from the porch indicating that this was indeed the right place...more
