House Concerts and Genre Diversity
Artists often ask something like this,
Hi Fran,
We play “bluegrass waltzes with a horn section of blind aborigines” (that’s our genre) - do any house concerts book that kind of music?
Please let us know because we want to rock (um, waltz) the house concert scene.
Sincerely,
Australian Three-Step
