Rose Cousins: The PERFECT (Post) Holiday Gift!



For those of you who still want to get something special for your 'someone special'...Why not bring them to our next House Concert?



On Sunday, January 20, 2008 we will be hosting multi-award-winning Singer/Songwriter: ROSE COUSINS from Halifax, NS. at our next House Concert in Port Dover, ON.
We had the distinct pleasure of seeing Rose open for The Wailin' Jennys back in October - and we knew, within a few moments of the start of her performance, that we had to have her come to perform for our friends and families! Not only is her music incredible, but she has an amazing sense of humour and really gives her audiences a great performance!



Her recent award wins will tell you a lot about her:


WINNER: 2007 PEI Music Award for:


Female Vocalist of the Year AND Folk Recording of the Year



WINNER: 2007 NOVA SCOTIA Music Award for:


Folk Recording of the Year AND Galaxie Rising Star/New Artist of the Year


WINNER: Mountainstage New Song Contest New York, NY


NOMINEE: 2007 CANADIAN FOLK MUSIC AWARD for:


BEST SOLO ARTIST



You do not want to miss this wonderful evening!



DATE: Sunday January 20, 2008


TIME: Refreshments at 6:00pm/Concert at 7:00pm


COST: $15.00 suggested donation to the artist plus a 'pot-luck' appetizer to share.

Welcome to Cindy & Sara Present...

We wanted to have a place where you could find out more about our House Concerts and so here it is!

Keep checking back regularly as we plan our events.

First off, though...A House Concert FAQ!

Q. Why a "House Concert"?

A. Why not? You get to chose who you want to come and play for you, in your own home, with 30 (or so!) of your favourite family and friends, with some great food and great company...it's 'up close and personal', you don't have to travel far and the parking is free!

Q. How do we find the artists to invite to come and play?

We listen, we talk to people, we go to other concerts, we buy CDs, we find out who we want and then we get on the phone or the internet and ask!

Q. What does "$15.00 donation to the Artist" mean?

Exactly that...We ask you to give the musicians who are coming to play a donation of approximately $15.00. You can give more, of course, and all money goes directly to the artist.

Q. So...the people who host the House Concert don't make any money?

No we don't. We provide the house, and feed the artists and give them overnight accommodation as our contribution to the evening. The whole point to having a House Concert is to be able to have an amazing, PRIVATE concert with your closest friends. That, and getting to hang out with some pretty amazing musicians, is the incentive for those who host the House Concerts.

If anyone has any other questions for us, you can get in touch with us at cindyandsarapresent@yahoo.ca. We look forward to having you as our guest at our next concert!
