My first appearance at Rio Rancho had the misfortune of being scheduled on March 15, 2020. That was precisely when the entire country came to a screeching halt due to COVID. The folks that did show up agreed it was a great show. Too bad there were so few people to hear it. Hopefully we'll do better this time :) Arrive at 7:00 for the concert, or bring a dish to share for a potluck dinner at 6:00. What's a "house concert", you ask? Pretty much what it sounds like: a concert in someone's home. the most intimate way to hear music. Here's a short video that describes the concept.

Says our host, "The Greenhouse House Concert series seeks to grow community around live music while offering artists a place to recharge. We built the space to start paying back the joy that music has brought to our lives over the years. We bring in attentive and enthusiastic audiences and emphasize the contribution that artists make to our lives. The focus of a Greenhouse concert is the music, while it is playing, and our friends and neighbors during the breaks and before / after concerts."

Cadenza is a tastefully decorated, wonderful listening room with well spaced, comfortable table seating, great acoustics and a premium sound system. The beverages and food are of high quality. But while some venues provide food and drink with music on the side, Cadenza does it the other way around. I will be splitting the bill with the wonderful songwriter, Carole Wise This show will also be live-streamed. To view the show, visit Cadenza's FaceBook Page at 7:00 PM Eastern time.
