... to build ourselves a new house!

We're getting closer and closer to finalizing the plans and may even one day start building the house. We'll have room for indoor and outdoor concerts, and guest rooms for musicians. There will also be plenty of space for hanging out and socializing before the show, during intermission and afterwards. And best of all, we'll finally have central air-conditioning! That means if it's too warm or muggy outside, we'll be able to have a comfortably-cool concert inside, all year long. We won't be forced to keep the concerts between September and April.

The picture above is more or less what we hope the new house will look like. We're still figuring things out and getting costs, but that's the dream. Keep your fingers crossed for us. If all goes well, we'll start off Season 7 in the new Concerts on Bonnie Branch Concert Hall!

Concerts on Bonnie Branch in
AmericanWay Magazine!

Our October 3rd show with Fran Snyder and David Glaser was the photographic backdrop for an article on house concerts in American Airline's in-flight magazine, AmericanWay. Fran was interviewed about house concerts for the article and a photographer showed up to do a shoot with him... and us! You can read the article at the AmericanWay website.
