If you've never experienced hearing talented musicians perform in a small, intimate environment, you are in for a treat.
House concerts are a growing trend across the country, where people invite friends and neighbors into their homes for an up-close concert experience. And there are
many
house concerts being held in and around the Kensington area that you can check out - you just need to contact the host and ask to be invited.
Churches and non-profit community groups around Kensington host occasional coffeehouses that feature traditional folk musicians and other acoustic artists as a way of bringing the community together.
In addition, live acoustic music can be heard in
several
listening rooms
and small theaters
in and around the Kensington area.
Local vineyards
and restaurants and cafes
in the area
sometimes host nationally touring musicians as well.
Below you can find a listing of upcoming shows in these smaller venues by nationally and internationally touring artists.
