Thanks to my HOSTS!
I feel so blessed to have met so many great music lovers and people that are excited and willing to host concerts in to support these great performers. This page is dedicated as a huge thank you to each and every one of my hosts. Whether they have hosted one concert or multiple events you mean the world to me and to all of the musicians that you are supporting in this way. (Hosts appear in date order based on the last concert they have hosted)
Huge thanks to you ALL

Another new host! These two love live music and were such amazing hosts. Their home was warm and wonderful with lights and faux fireplace images! trust me you had to be there, Kasey pretty much was ready to move in! I know we will be hosting with you again and can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!

Welcome to a couple of new Heart in the House hosts, you guys did a fabulous job of welcoming our guests into your home and put on a lovely spread. It was lovely for Dan & Kasey to get to know you and you made us all feel so welcome and treated us like very special guests. Thank you so much!

Dale & Angus
These wonderful hosts share their warm & inviting little condo creating the most lovely welcoming space. Although the space is in fact a condo and not large we have been able to seat up to 35 people! They are so creative in how they provide us with snacks for the break and are so excited about these events. I am so grateful for their friendship and support (prior to Heart in the House Dale & Angus hosted several other concerts for me!)

Barb & Robert
These hosts have a lovely B&B (The Pleasant Pear Orchard B&B), it is so welcoming and has a great combination of indoor and outdoor space. They transform Barb's Art studio into a music venue with seating for 50 people and a hand built stage (Robert built it specifically for these concerts). Barb takes care in creating snacks for the event and always displays the simple buffet in an inviting way. Their location is perfect for touring artist requests, providing a great location and exposure to the B&B for people who want to come and visit our great city.

Billee & Jerry
These guys are my rock star hosts. They were so amazing at getting the word out to their friends and filled 50 seats in the first 24 hours! Their space is inviting and truly one of the most spectacular views I have ever seen in Kelowna. moving upstairs into their space for the break to enjoy amazing food and to take our drinks out onto their deck overlooking this valley was amazing. Looking forward to the next ones!

Sarah & Krista
Sarah & Krista are enthuastic music supporters! They invite us into their shared home, just a regular home, we have been so creative in creating their environments, squeezing a bunch of seats in their living room or outside in their amphitheatre-like yard. They love to share this experience with their friends and we love their welcoming fun youthful energy!

Stephani & Myles
The incredible luxury and warmth that is Stephani & Myles home is undeniable. Looking out on the lake as we enjoy this beautiful space creates such a wonderful experience. They opened the glass doors onto their patio and we spread out and enjoyed wine, handcrafted chocolates (made by my daughter) and great food. They were so amazing with making Shari feel welcome and comfortable in their home providing her with a space to rest and freshen up, a wonderful gift for touring artists. The event was so classy, a reflection of who these people are.

Artisan house
Artisan house is a local collaborative space that brings creative people together. This concert was hosted in the same way, a collaboration. Richard's ability to transform a space into something inviting and warm is showcased in the room the transformed from garage into a performance and gathering space. As you come into this home that has been transformed by this talented architect you recognize how old and new meld together in a beautiful way. Artisan house's focus on community came across clearly at this event and we loved the evening!

Mark & Amber
This 1909 Heritage Farmhouse was the first Heart in the House official location. The space was so lovely and warm with a large fireplace crackling away in the room. We were able to easily fit almost 30 people into the space and even had the performer up on a step that accesses the dining room. Magical would be the description of this space. Mark & Amber open their home frequently to community singing and other events that involve their passions.
