After more than 2 years, we’re thrilled to be hosting another house concert: a return engagement for Rose Polenzani on Thursday July 7th!

Weekly Dig recently described Rose by writing: “‘Folk badass’ might seem like an inappropriate term for an artist as intimate and soulful as Polenzani–but you know what? We’ll risk it. She’s kinda like Leonard Cohen and kinda like Nick Drake, with maybe just a touch of rock attitude thrown in. And on top of that, when you hear her singing, it’s hard not to think: ‘What a badass.’”

Rose is our favorite folk badass and we hope you’ll join us for what is certain to be an incredible night of music!

The music will start at 7:30 PM, with a suggested donation of $15.

Edie Carey returns! Edie was the first artist to perform at Little Apple House Concerts and we couldn’t be happier to have her back on April 3rd, 2009 at 8:00PM!

Boston-based singer-songwriter Edie Carey is known for her unmistakable honeyed voice, her intelligent, heart-grabbing songs, but perhaps most especially for her warm, engaging presence on – and off – stage. As much a part of her show as the music itself, Edie’s wry and often self-mocking humor makes audiences feel as though they have just spent an evening with a very close friend. (EdieCarey.com / MySpace)

Newly-formed americana band Harbor Collective, led by Brianna Lane and Cahalen David Morrison will be opening the show, performing a mash of tunes; originals, covers, and traditionals, mostly from the old-time, blues, and country traditions. These two nearly-veteran songwriters will not disappoint. (MySpace)

The suggested donation for this show is $15. The music will start at 8:00.

What an amazing show this is going to be! We could not be more excited to host Antje Duvekot and Natalia Zukerman together in one night. Antje Duvekot has been called “the next great American folk singer-songwriter.” Born in Germany, Antje came to the U.S. as a teen. Duvekot’s songs feel at once fresh-faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice. (AntjeDuvekot.com / MySpace) Natalia Zukerman has a sound that’s strong yet delicate, gentle yet insistent. You can call her songs folk music if you like, but there’s jazz there too, and some sultry blues. The Boston Globe writes: “Zukerman’s guitar is a strutting brass band one minute, a sighing lover the next.” (NataliaZukerman.com / MySpace) Join us for a great night a music with two of today’s finest rising songwriters!

Music will begin at 8pm. The suggested donation for this show is $15.

We are ridiculously excited to be hosting the brilliant and beautiful ladies Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Ries on Thursday, November 20th.

Singer/songwriters Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Ries met at a Texas campfire in 2004. Both artists had releases on the same small label—Chicago’s Waterbug Records—before Mitchell joined Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe Records and Ries founded her own SoDak Records in 2007. The two friends began doing occasional tours together, for camaraderie and to share touring expenses. “People kept saying, ‘you girls should make a recording,’” says Mitchell. “So finally we did!” The result is the simply titled country e.p. The relaxed, vintage production features musicians from the artists’ respective Boston and Chicago communities and the vocal harmonies they worked out for their tours. We are thrilled that Anaïs & Rachel are stopping by Little Apple House Concerts as part of their tour in support of this new record.
