About Us

Bringing Music to Life

Randy and I built our dream home, Casa Des Nuda, in 2017. We built it with a love of entertaining in mind and discovered by accident that we'd built it for amazing acoustics as well. Now we are combining our love of music and friendships in this concert series.  If you'd like to know more, there's a little Culturemap article here: http://austin.culturemap.com/news/home-design/10-30-18-austin-couple-driftwood-dream-house-and-impromptu-music-venue/#slide=6

if you want to make a day of it!

How do I get into one of these shows and how much does it cost?

Just send us an email to RSVP and we'll give you instructions on how to pay.  Most shows will be in the $15-20 range and ALL money goes to the musician.

What time does the show start?

Most shows will start around 7:00 and go to 9:00 pm with a short intermission in the middle.  Doors will open at 6:00 for food and fellowship.

What about food/drink?

We encourage you to bring a snack or small dish to share although this is not mandatory.  We will provide delicious filtered rainwater, but please BYOB of choice.  We provide plates, plastic ware, napkins and cups.  I find wine out of solo cups to be so klassy :)

Are kids allowed?

These concerts are designed to respectfully listen and appreciate the musician.  That being said, if your child is 14 yrs old or older and can enjoy this appropriately, that is fine.  Please be aware that we do have a pool that is strictly off limits to guests.

What else do I need to know?

Just a few odds and ends:

--please be respectful when parking.  Do not block the neighbors' driveways.  We have a circular drive and plenty of street parking.  Please leave the main driveway open for musicians and their equipment.

--as stated above, we do have a pool and jacuzzi that is off limits to guests.  By RSVP'ing to these shows you are acknowledging that we are not responsible if you fall/jump in without a lifeguard.

--we have a LOT of deer in the area so please drive slowly and carefully through the neighborhood.

--we also do occasionally have scorpions and other critters. We live on a greenbelt and invaded their space so that just comes with the territory.

--we also have pets, so if you are allergic to cats or dogs, you may want to premedicate :)

Why should I come to your party?

Firstly, this is NOT a party.  This is a sit down concert to appreciate the talent and stories of each musician.  When the show starts we will invite you to take a seat and be respectful.  Please turn cell phones off or on silent during the show and keep talking/distractions to a minimum.  This is a unique opportunity to discover a new talent or to appreciate someone you are already familiar with in a very intimate setting. You will be able to hear the stories behind the songs and mingle with the artists.
