Steve Gillete and Cindy Mangsen, with Mara Levine opening Boumel House Concert Series, January 28th, 2012 Okay… so there’s this famous story about Eric Clapton that goes like this. He was doing a concert somewhere in Florida, in Jacksonville I think, and he walks out on stage playing Layla. Well, he gets about a dozen […]

Saturday evening was the reason all of you who host venues, home concerts, song swaps, etc., do what you do. And I thank you for it. Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin were the reason we’re blessed with evenings like we were able to experience last night. Thanks to them, Susan M, all the volunteers at the Labyrinth Cafe, and […]

Tropical house concerts are special. On the back patio, undercover, but surrounded by the palm foliage of the Springs, a fortunate group of listeners were treated to the talents of a ‘local’ troubadour.

You’re right, Nancy, it was beautiful evening. A grand end to the season. Nick Annis. What a wordsmith! We’d laugh & look inside & hear words of love, mingling them all together. He joked he was ‘opening for Michael Smith twice in one day.” Maybe. But he was also closing the deal on how good […]

Amy Carol Webb, Wishing Chair at Labyrinth Cafe

After missing last month’s raved-about John Gorka show, here was another opportunity for watching the Labyrinth Cafe sell out of brownies – early. It was a crowded room, filled with expectation and anticipation and, ultimately, afterglow. A great […]
