Danny & Carrie

8 PM, Saturday,
January 21, 2012
Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin

"Schmidt is a stellar poet and musician, and media comparisons to a string of legends are not amiss.
He's too original and too good for a mere cult following."
- Dirty Linen Magazine

"Carrie Elkin's songs are, at once,
intimate yet universal, naked yet richly adorned.
Her voice is simply revelatory"
- FolkWax

Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin, both impresssive songwriters, are a powerhouse together. We first met and heard Danny several years ago and were blown away by the imagery and the philosophy in his songs. We met Carrie when she joined Danny on stage at Uncle Calvin's, and found her voice sweet and her songs revelatory.

Both of these fine artists have new songs and new recordings to offer since their last appearance in the area. Come for an inspiring, thought-provoking evening.
Buddy Mondlock

8 PM, Saturday, February 4, 2012
Buddy Mondlock

"Mondlock's songs are like movies you want to see again. He starts with the same world we all see and hear, but he transforms the sights and sounds into revelations that delight and melodies that linger."
- Ed Morris - Billboard Magazine

"His songs are an express lane to the heart!"
- Luce Myers - The Blue Heron

Now comes the incomparable Buddy Mondlock. His songs have held our hearts for ages, and we find the intimacy of a house concert is the best way in the world to delve into them.

And delve into them we must. Buddy's music is an addiction, and one that we highly recommend. The songs stick in our heads and we forever see the world differently. Come out to the country for an evening that will enrich your view.

Concert Info

Acoustic Concert Tours is the Dallas area's premier house concert series. Concerts are brought to you by Paul Porter, Tom Noe, and Linda Silas. Since 1992 Tom and Linda have hosted about 230 concerts in the living room of their home outside Wylie, Texas. Directions are below, or you can go see a map.

Concerts are scheduled about once each month, with some breaks in the summer. Most are on Saturday evening at 8pm and a few are on Sunday afternoon at 4pm. We ask each person attending to make a donation of $15, which all goes to the performer. Drinks and snacks are available and there's a donation kitty. You can also bring whatever you like for yourself or to share. Reservations are normally not required but we suggest you arrive about 10-20 minutes before show time for a good seat.

We feature some of acoustic music's greatest singer-songwriters from all over the US and beyond in a serious listening room. The genre of music is tough to describe to anyone not familiar with it. We often call it "Hard Listening" because the lyrics have something to say and are sure to make you think. Many people aren't even aware that this kind of music exists, and you will rarely hear it on the radio. It's just too good.

Directions:

"The Arms of Eden" located at 4030 N. Hwy 78, Wylie, Texas 75098.

That's about 4 miles east of where 544 crosses 78 and about 1.5 miles west of where 205 ends at 78. The driveway turns north off Hwy 78 about a hundred feet west of Skyview Drive, which is the road to Lake Lavon. Signs near the driveway on both sides of 78 say "Lavon Lake Dam Headquarters" and there's a new storage rental place just next door.  Numbers say "4030" on the mailbox and the gate, and when there's a show happening a sign on the gate says "House Concert."
