House Concert on July 22, 2005
By Jack Fields

We don't normally schedule a house concert during the summer but when I talked with The Bluehouse in San Antonio this April they mentioned that they had an open night during their July swing through Texas & asked if we would like to do a show. Since I try to see the girls whenever I can what else could I say but YES! We'll talk with our AC man & turn the whole house down the night before to cool things off as much as possible.

The Bluehouse is Jacqui Walter, Samantha Harley and Bernadette Carroll.

"Take three women with hugely varied musical influences. Add two acoustic guitars, an electric bass and three heavenly voices. Mix in passion and dedication to exploring all the possibilities that this combination can realize and you have a small insight into what is the amazingly talented trio 'the bluehouse'."

Although they started playing together in Melbourne Australia in 1995, I first heard The Bluehouse at the Southwest regional folk alliance in 2001. We had a show with them in February 2002 & helped organize a show out at the Quiet Valley Ranch in March 2003. You don't want to miss their current US tour, it will be a night to remember.

"A combination of wickedly mouthy humor with drop-dead gorgeous singing" is how The Scotsman described them. The Sydney Morning Herald recognized the band's essential eclecticism, terming the music "delicious folk-pop ... tinged at time with sweet gospel soul, before plunging into raucous guitar riffs."

The doors open around 6:30 PM on Friday, with the music starting around 7:30 PM. There will be a break between sets for a pot luck dinner, please bring a covered dish. We ask for a $10 per person donation at the door with all funds going to the artists. Please call 830-367-5709 or e-mail at sunbeam@gvec.net to make reservations.  Our home page has a map to the house:
