They are strictly a hobby for us, and are simply gatherings of our friends and guests to enjoy live acoustic music, fellowship, food (a potluck dessert buffet) and fun. Our concert parties are officially free (or else it might be considered a business), although voluntary contributions (suggested donation of $15 per person) are accepted at the party on behalf of the artists. 100% of all contributions go directly to the performers.

Hailing from Van Nuys, California, but equally at home anywhere under the western sky, well-traveled California folk favorites Fur Dixon and Steve Werner are a combination that can't be beat, with a show that's fun, heartfelt and drenched in the rich traditions of Bluegrass, Western and good old American folk music. They are best known for their dazzling two-part harmonies, spectacular yodeling, awesome guitar picking and wise-cracking humor which all serve to compliment their incredible old- and new-timey traveling songs.
