Josh Savage Living Room Tour 2014

Josh said, “I love playing living room shows because they’re so intimate and you can really connect with your audience. I’ve only done two shows to a Welsh audience but the response has been great and I’m a sucker for the Welsh accent.”

The mellow tones and haunting vocals of his first album, Mountains in Hurricanes continue (received great critical acclaim. More of the same can be expected from) in Spaces EP. The combination of Josh’s melodies and the intimate setting of a house concert will be sure to amaze and enrapture.

Josh will play at an, as yet, undisclosed Colwinston private residency, near Cowbridge. In true house concert style, to gain entry to this incredibly exclusive event simply contact Josh via Facebook or Twitter and – space allowing – you will be placed on the guestlist. Following that, the exact location of the gig will be released a week prior to the event.

Make sure you reserve your space fast. Due to the intimate nature of a house concert, there will be limited spaces available.

The history of house concerts – the modern love child of Renaissance and Baroque chamber music – began in 20th century Harlem, New York. They were held to disguise illicit sex houses. Yet, once urban genres adopted the concept, house concerts became all about sharing live music. Perhaps they’re still somewhat unheard of because 21st century live music is more available to the public; ticket prices for smaller gigs remain relatively cheap. However, the revival of the house concert is buoyed by musical purists’ want for raw and unrestricted performances.

If you’re still unsure about the house concert concept, watch this video of Josh performing at Sofar Winchester for a taster of this special live music platform:
