How to host your own HOUSE CONCERT!
If you'd like to have Jenny come play in your town,
find a nice clean comfortable living room that seats
50 people comfortably, and find a date when there isn't
another huge community event happening on the same
evening.
Make invitations by e-mail AND phone to 50-75
friends for a potluck or just dessert and tea,
whichever you prefer, informing them that there is a
$10 donation at the door for the musical concert that
will follow the potluck. Make sure that reservations
are required, so you know how many friends to
expect.
We will come knocking at your door the
afternoon of the show to set up our equipment. If you
have a 6:00 pm potluck, the show should be 7:00 pm. A 7:00 pm
potluck is good for an 8:00 pm show.
We will have our CD's
available for sale and would need to stay overnight in
your guest room. This is a great way to get your
community together. E-mail me if you want to host the
coolest party of the year!
