Folk artist Jenee Halstead performed her music at the Upper Moreland home of John Burkhauser, who, for the second year, hosted a public house concert.
The house concert, which took place Oct. 1, also featured the rock cover band Second Chance, in which Burkhauser plays lead guitar.
According to Halstead, such home concerts are increasingly becoming a popular way for artists to supplement income, in between concerts and more traditional venues.
While most house concerts, including the one that took place at the Burkhauser residence, are free, guests made contributions for Halstead's performance. She also was able to sell her albumn, "The River Grace," and EP "Hollow Bones".
The Burkhauser Family invited friends, family, neighbors and the general public to the event, which also featured a free potluck dinner. Burkhauser said that house concerts also help promote a sense of community.

This comes from Q Magazine's "Sounds of the Underground: Roots"
"Warm and personal, her Emmylou Harris-like voice beckons the listener into the country folk songs with an invitingly crooked finger."
|
"Jenee Halstead - This album’s opening track, Before I Go, is slightly misleading, in that it suggests this will be a pleasant enough album of country music that skips prettily along the surface of things. The next track, Deep Dark Sea, reveals the true identity of an album that, in the words of the title track, chooses to “embrace the undertow”. The River Grace focuses on uncertainty and despair, murder and suicide. Yet, while the Boston-based Halstead is a songwriter unafraid to deal with life’s great tragedies and awkward compromises, her real strength, on this debut album, lies in her voice. Halstead’s singing packs the emotional punch of Emmylou Harris and will keep you hooked: even in those stretches where you’re not sure what she’s singing about, it’s clear that it matters." ME |
Fish Records a UK based distributor of folk, acoustic, and singer/songwriter music has named my cd The River Grace (with Hollow Bones EP) as a top ten album for 2010! I am honored and so excited to be among the artists that were chosen for this list!
Thank you Fish Records!!
Here is a quick little shout out on the new(ish) EP Hollow Bones! I dig this blog!

Miss out on button-cute roots-crooner Jenee Halstead’s Americana residency over at Precinct back in August? Oh man, it was great. She had this bitchin’ Emmylou Harris vibe, complete with twanging acoustic and these vaporous vocals … she sounded like ripples in air, dude. Ripples in the air. Well, August has come and gone (unfortunately forgetting to take cargo shorts along with it), but Halstead will be popping back into the ville’s favorite patio to kick off a night of snakeskin and whiskey-jug mood music. Now, it may not be exactly the same thing as her residency … but you can always just pretend she’s gonna come back next week. [70 Union Sq., Somerville. 617.623.9211. 7:30pm/21+/$10. precinctbar.com]
Come celebrate the life of Gram Parson's this weekend at Precinct Bar in Union Square, Somerville! I will be singing Emmylou Harris songs on Friday, Nov. 5th to warm up the bands. Music starts at 7:30pm! For more details please check the link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=123441974332997
A wonderful review from Fish Records our UK distributor!
