WELCOME TO
PRETTY BIRD
HOUSE CONCERTS

I walked in the front door, greeted by a mountain of shoes and the smell of fresh rye bread. I found my seat through rows of mismatched chairs, bar stools, and pillows—the corner of an oversized comfy couch. I hadn't been to a house concert before.

I don't remember the musician's name. But I'll never forget his music—the song he composed sitting by a cactus in the middle of the desert. His car was dead on the road behind him.

I felt the sound of his cello.

I'd never heard music this way. In that small sound filled space, it was an experience of live music that changed me forever. It was intimate and unforgettable.

I miss those concerts, and I haven't stopped wanting to host my own. In 2021 we opened Pretty Bird: a uniquely beautiful space to be with friends and share an incredible live music experience they won't soon forget.

Welcome to Pretty Bird.

OUR VENUE

Pretty Bird is our home, and several times per year we open our doors to friends and family for an unforgettable musical performance. We do have a dog, in case of allergy concerns.

Our concerts are not a party with background music. They are concert performances with paid artists. We ask that you arrive on time, turn off cell phones, and respect the enjoyment of others.

BYOB and your reusable coffee mug if you need one. The dinner is potluck style in old-school house concert charm. We highly encourage you to contribute your favourite, bragworthy and small nibble to our communal table, but it's not required.

From start to finish the event will be 3.5 hours. 6:30 pm doors open so you can mingle, grab seats and share food. The show starts promptly at 7 pm. We include two 35-45 minute sets with a brief intermission to eat, purchase merchandise and CDs and talk to the artists.

TICKETS

Your ticket includes a one-of-a-kind intimate live music performance, food, tea and coffee. Tickets are $30 in total. $25 per ticket is allocated to the artists. Pretty Bird does not make a profit off ticket sales but retains $5 per ticket to cover website, ticket processing and event insurance fees.

FOOTWEAR & COATS

You can remove outdoor footwear at the door. Coats are welcome to be left on the bed at the far side of the entrance. Indoor slippers/shoes are welcome.

PARKING & LOCATION

There is ample street parking available.
