This fine group will feel right at home with guests at Harmony House Concert since they have acquired a following in Texas and Oklahoma. Lori Rowton, the female vocalist is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, our neighbors across the Oklahoma border. The Close will play two 45-minute sets with a 30-minute intermission for them to meet you at the CD table, have another cuppa java, visit the Necessary Room, or visit with one another. Harmony House is all about making new friends and connections for performing artists and our guests.

Harmony House is located about 10 miles north of Bonham and about 65 miles NE of Dallas metroplex. We moved a century-old house from Bonham and got to work making it a home. We (Faye and Scott) left our urban lifestyles to live on 160 acres of natural land, www.WildscapeAcres.com. Since we already had discovered the magic of live acoustic music and original singer/songwriters by attending venues in Dallas and going to the Kerrville Folk Festival and the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah, OK, we chose to open our home as a venue for these artists to come and widen their fan base and for you to be able to enjoy live music in an intimate setting.
Everything is casual here, and we'll welcome old and new friends with open arms. We've been at it over 20 years now, so we've had a bit of practice. Each performer who plays here leaves behind an energy and an imprint in the walls that resonates afterward.
Faye and Scott, your hosts, will provide a real cup of organic coffee, organic tea punches sweetened with various juices, and well water with no chemicals added. We will also provide a variety of cheeses and crackers, along with some other tasty treats. We do request that each guest bring a finger food to share with others--you can make this as simple as olives to a quiche Lorraine! We do ask that you bring your own serving dish or tray and take home any leftovers. There are tables in the dining room and in the master bedroom for you to put your "goodies" on---yes, you read that correctly--we use the entire house for a house concert. Even the performing artists have their own space in my bedroom/office. You'd be amazed how many picks we have now.
