The Appeal of House Concerts
MacDonald is one of the few singer/songwriters who are able to make a living playing original material while based in cover-happy South Florida, partially because he's always seen the big picture musically. More than two dozen other artists have covered his compositions resulting in additional royalty checks. He sees house concerts as a lasting phenomenon, not a fad. MacDonald says that "house concerts are the perfect vehicle for such lyric-driven material. House concerts have no background noise," he says. "They're very quiet, and usually unamplified. It's very natural; like going to someone's house where they bring out their guitar and say, 'hey, let me play you a song.' Everybody's listening, as opposed to a bar, where there's a built-in level of noise that makes it hard for people to catch the musical subtleties." Read more...

Music has filled Tom Piazza and Beth Reasoner's log house countless times before, but never like this.
This night, instead of jamming with friends, singing and making music on the eclectic collection of acoustic instruments that line the walls of the couple's West Side cabin, Piazza and Reasoner are here to listen. They sit with a score of others, watching intently from wood chairs and overstuffed sofas assembled in the open-beamed living room.
Before them, sitting in a worn wooden chair, Rod MacDonald, a veteran singer/songwriter and recording artist from South Florida, strums a scarred Martin acoustic guitar and sings. It's a nostalgic lament for a forlorn motel operator left behind by .....Read more ...
