What we’re about
If you build it they will come…a South Bay network of house concert and small live music venues, and all us fans who love the up close and personal music experience. This site is for music lovers of all genres to check out what's happening on the San Francisco peninsula down to San Jose. The artist talent pool is amazing. Let's build the audience!
Never been to a house concert? You're in for a treat! Defined as "true listening environments", they are typically small gatherings in the privacy of a home or small stage. Usually 30-50 people. Occasionally, like if someone has a super cool back yard, it's easy to fit in more. Every host runs things a bit different. Typically, seating is provided. But you may be asked to bring a chair or a blanket. Typically it's BYOWhatever. But, there might be social time and/or a potluck.
Guests are asked to be very respectful of the house. Stick to the concert area, be clean and no smoking.
The artist reflects the flavor of the host, from classical to singer songwriter. Don't' worry if there are just a couple rsvp's. Most experienced hosts have cultivated a mailing list. This site is an adjunct to that and to help new house concert providers get started by establishing a shared pool of fans. The more house concert venues, the more fans, the more artists who get to share their amazing talents.
Want to become a host? It really is easy. But please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

PLEASE NOTE!!!! Seating is limited. You are not allowed to rsvp yes and then not show. No shows are a big deal. Attendance is taken. The reputation of this meet up will be one of dependability, as if you paid for your ticket in advance.

See all- The FogHouse Presents - TerrierThe Fog(less) House, San Mateo, CA
TERRIER, a captivating folk duo, was born from the unique confluence of Ben Morrison of The Brothers Comatose and Erika Tietjen of T Sisters. Partners in life and on stage, their musical journey together began during the challenging days of the pandemic, a time when creativity and resilience were needed most.
As destiny would have it, Erika was pregnant with their first child when the idea of TERRIER took root. The pair's harmonious collaboration emerged in the midst of anticipation and transformation, weaving the joy of new life into the very fabric of their music. Together, Ben and Erika create a sound that's both intimate and enchanting, a testament to the strength of their partnership, but they also create a fun and light space to laugh about their very relatable challenges as spouses and parents

OUR GUESTS HAVE SUPPORTED US INTO OUR SECOND DECADE AND WE APPRECIATE YOU! We have transitioned to our website. - The Treehouse presents Scott Pemberton TrioThe Treehouse, Los Gatos, CA
Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun.
The response to Scott’s music has made him an emerging force on the festival circuit, placed him at #1 in Portland’s pop charts, #4 on Billboards “Tastemakers” chart and has generated notice from the press:
“A modern day Jimi Hendrix”
–Chico Enterprise“The Bruce Lee of Rock and Roll”
–Tahoe Onstage“It’s not every day we get to see a real, live guitar god in action.”
