Common House Concerts

Contact Info
Shows are held in the great room of the common house at Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage. It's a cozy, comfortable space that’s perfectly adapted to house concerts. The acoustics are terrific and our audiences are very attentive and appreciative. The room easily accommodates about 45 people, but we’ve had as many as 75 (a very full house!).

The bluegrass and folk music worlds, once the exclusive domain of Monroe and Seeger-style traditionalists, have spun off an array of contemporary artists who've taken those forms to surprising places. Rachel Sumner and Traveling Light, for example.

Cosy Sheridan is one clever and thoughtful songwriter: "a Buddhist monk trapped in the body of a singer-songwriter," if you will! She is wildly entertaining, with a keen and wicked eye for the excesses of our screen-addicted, fast-food culture.
