Intimate concerts in the heart of Grand Rapids, MI

What is a House Show?

House shows are intimate performances held in private homes, offering unique and personal experiences for artists and audiences alike. These gatherings foster close connections between musicians and listeners, creating a shared space where music can be appreciated in its purest form. House concerts are cherished for their ability to bring people together, support independent musicians, and celebrate artistry without distraction.

As these shows take place in my own home, the address is kept private. But worry not! If you RSVP, the address will be sent to you the day before the concert takes place. If you already know where I live, come on by! RSVP by emailing me at bentraversemusic@gmail.com. Can’t afford the asking donation? Contact me and we’ll figure it out.

100% of funds go to the artists. Always.

Upcoming Concerts

Bobcat Opossum

Bobcat Opossum is a tune slinging, genre bending duo from the back alleys of the Midwestern wilderness. They’ve picked through the field and around the campfires for the tastiest folk songs and fiddle tunes in all the land. They have trod the rugged roads of Irish and Old Time American traditional music and have lived to tell the tales.

Multi-instrumentalists Sean Hoffman and Ellen Coplin prepare a slow-roasted feast for the ears, garnished with homegrown original songs. Pull up a chair, but be warned, you may get the feeling that you are in exactly the right place at the right time.” ~Liv Lafluv
