Why do I call it tour and not just an extended family vacation? ONE reason is Kevin books shows and plays music about 5 nights a week. This is a lot of work(for Kevin). I will talk about how many shows he plays in a year and where we go, in a later post. Today's post answers the question, "Where do you play?" in the building sense. Here are a few...
The Well in South Bend, IN
 |
| Music venues like Eaden's Ballroom |
 |
| Coffee shops, like this one in Salt Lake City, UT. |
 |
| Small businesses like this pizza shop in Mountain Home, ID. |
 |
DIY music venue, Seventh Circle in Denver, CO
|
Kevin has played in restaurants, coffee shops, churches, camps, tents, backyards, bars, homeless outreach sites, music venues, youth centers, festivals, sidewalks...but the place where he plays the most is in people's homes. A house show is a lovely way to interact with people and share and enjoy music. This is how it works. You pick a date for a musician to come to your house. You invite people to come to your house on said date. You sit or stand and listen to music with people you know really well or maybe met that night. Overall, it's pretty great. You might be thinking to yourself, that sounds fun, I would like to have a house show but my house is too small. That is NOT the case, I assure you. I will save you the Dr. Seuss description of what kinds of houses are good for house shows and just say they are ALL good. Here are some house shows we have done recently.
The Workshop, aka Nancy's apartment.
