What we’re about
Bay Area House Concerts is where hosts, performers and lovers of live music connect to make magic happen. The events posted here are unique "listening room" opportunities, each of which is organized slightly differently but always in an intimate setting.
Note these are limited capacity concerts so each RSVP matters, If a host has confirmed they are expecting you, and agreed to let you "pay at the door," it is never okay to no-show without making the expected financial contribution.
If you are not yet a co-organizer but host house concerts and would like to post your events here, please contact our lead organizer (Winter Williams) directly to discuss contributing to the shared cost of maintaining this Meetup group,

| Claudia Russell is a California troubadour with a guitar case full of highly-engaging songs, the voice of an angel, and a suitable partner in husband Bruce Kaplan, who supplies the perfect counterpoint to Russell’s inventive guitar work with accompaniment on electric guitar and mandolin. Whether soothing or stirring, Russell and Kaplan always hit the spot.
The Bay Area-based duo traverse a wide Americana landscape, stopping at wondrous musical landmarks along the way, tipping their hat to the great Laurel Canyon troubadours, legendary Village folkies, soulful blues divas, jazz cats and Bakersfield cowboys. Driven by Claudia’s expressive voice, nimble guitar and distinctive songwriting, it all comes together beautifully.
Since their debut in 2000, Claudia Russell and Bruce Kaplan have amassed an impressive resume of over 1000 performances. Their distinctive music has graced the stages of clubs, festivals, barns, and concert series across North America wowing audiences with their engaging songs wherever the perform. Claudia has also achieved recognition as a Kerrville New Folk Finalist on two occasions, while her talent has garnered praise in notable publications such as American Songwriter, UK Country People and Sing Out as well as NPR’s All Things Considered.
Russell is a third-generation singer. He father, Val Rosing, was the vocalist of the Henry Hall BBC Dance Orchestra 1931 original hit recording of Teddy Bears Picnic. Her grandfather, Vladimir Rosing was an opera singer who performed at the Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
