We are a group of house concert enthusiasts in the Bay Area. This group is created as a resource so that house concert hosts can find additional audience, artists can make friends with hosts, and music lovers can discover interesting house concerts in their area. Don't be scared off if a show only has one or two RSVPs, because most of our hosts get most of their audience from their own series regulars who may not RSVP here. Here is how it works: Each event you post will automatically become an o …

On the Third Saturday of each month there is a Barn Dance at the Sonoma Valley Grange Hall in the Springs (across Hwy 12 from Mary’s Pizza), 8 to 11. The caller teaches the reels and circle dances before the band fills the hall with joyous Irish and Bluegrass music, and then keeps calling---this is trauma-free dancing. Beginners, singles, and children are welcome-- note that the simplest dances are at the beginning so the evening starts easy and builds from there. Wear comfortable shoes. A donat …

Feeling Arranging is a primitive form of Shamanism, which is nature based and very ancient. It’s about finding our original self through arranging our feelings. This group is for the adventurous and the fearless. Feeling Arranging is uniquely different from the shamanism and healing methods we know such as journeying, soul retrieval and meditation. We use darkness as a positive force to heal ourselves and to connect with our ancestors and nature. Like a seed needs a dark place to incubate before …

These days, most of the dance clubs and social meetup groups are focused on music from the 80s and later, from hair metal to house to hip-hop to funk/R&B to DJ mashups and the like. What is missing is a group with an emphasis on live band music from oldies rock and roll, to classic 60s rock (the British invasion, beach music, folk and acid rock, etc.) through the more popular 70s rock (Eagles, Doobies, etc.) You know the kind of music I am talking about! Well, THIS IS IT! Dancing to live mus …
