Pine Ridge House Concerts is a unique, casual and intimate venue for Singer-Songwriter performances in the beautiful hills of eastern Tennessee. We’ve opened our home to performers and concert guest to provide a relaxed atmosphere where an attentive audience really listens to the artist.
The concept behind this performance venue is simple. We provide our home, refreshments and snacks. The artist performs for people truly interested in hearing them. Concert invitees bring beverages of their choice and appetizers, snacks or other food to share, and pay a modest donation/cover charge, 100% of which goes directly to the artist.
The end result is that concert attendees hear a great singer-songwriter performance, share food and drink, and make some new friends. The artist plays to an audience that really cares and gets to make some money. ...and we all have a great time!
Pine Ridge House Concerts is located in the rural hills of eastern Tennessee, about 25 miles northwest of Knoxville.
Our next house concert will feature Chuck Brodsky on Saturday, June 28th . Chuck is true musical storyteller. His songs paint vivid pictures of offbeat characters and everyday people. From the Goat Man, to the bartender in “The 9:30 Pintâ€, to D.B. Cooper, or Doc Ellis, his songs combine humor and sharp wit making him one the most original songwriters around.
His great gift as a writer is to infuse these stories with humanity and humor, making them resonate profoundly with his listeners. His spoken introductions to his songs can be as spellbinding as his colorful lyrics, which he brings to life with a well-travelled voice and a delivery that's natural and conversational. His groove-oriented strumming and fingerpicking draw on influences from the mountains of western North Carolina where he now lives, and from lots of different good old traditional folk stuff of all kinds.
The concert will start at 8:00 with guests welcome to arrive starting at 7:00. Wanda and I will provide cups, ice, soft drinks, snacks and a substantial dish to serve as an anchor for our community snack-fest. Please bring along whatever you would like to drink and some food to share (appetizer, snack, dessert, or whatever).
The donation/cover for the concert is $12 in advance, or $14 at the door (100% goes to Chuck). Contact me via email if you’d like to pay in advance, and I’ll let you know how to go about it.
Please make your reservations by mail, email at [email protected] or call 865-207-2207.
