NOTE: As the name suggests, Patchwork is a house concert series, i.e. we present concerts in our living room. For all shows, the artist(s) take the door. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. Snacks and soft drinks will be offered; otherwise it is BYOB. Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged.
