About Me

" Come on in, take your coat off, get yourself a bowl of whatever is simmering on the stove, set yourself down in a chair out in the living room and let's listen to some music!"Nestled in the foothills of East County, just 30 minutes from downtown San Diego California, lies a small community called Harbison Canyon that is between El Cajon and Alpine . It is here that Canyonfolk House Concerts came into being.Hi, we are Bill and Shirlee and we opened our doors to family, friends, and neighbors April 5, 2003 by hosting our first house concert with Berkley Hart. We wish to share our love of music in it's purist form not only with our close friends and family but with you and others who have the same love of music. We encourage our guests to bring children to experience the art of music of many genres. All donated proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the performers. We hope to bring a rich and diverse blend of styles of acoustic music from Alternative Folk, Rock, Country, Bluegrass, and others in an intimate environment.Every concert will include a dinner, desert pot-luck buffet with coffee, tea, and bottled water. It is not required for guests to contribute, but it makes for a much more tastier buffet of treats when they do. If you would like to bring one of your favorite recipes then by all means please do!Yours in Music,Bill and Shirlee
