Who are you?
Hound Dog House Concerts (John Hawkes & Family) presents live music in Santa Barbara, California. We are music lovers who believe that gathering in close quarters to watch great musicians do their thing is one of life's true pleasures. Audiences can expect top-shelf musicianship in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Musicians can expect a respectful but lively audience and a cold beer, a shot of whiskey, or hot tea as they desire. Our motto is "Artists and Audience Come First". And they do. It's really that simple.
A final word:
We do not do this alone. Our friends and fellow music fans support us with ideas, labor, and inspiration. Their support is greatly appreciated. Our musical guests support us with their talent and passion. We appreciate that they take a chance on us and our house concert series. Our sound/tech team is talented, hardworking, and committed to a high quality production. And finally, our audience shows up to hear musicians they usually have never heard of. They bring open minds, a few bucks for the band, and perhaps a six-pack, a pie, or some guacamole. It's really cool.
