In the beginning...

...there was a candlelit living room, delicious tacos, and about 30 people sitting on the floor intently listening to a handful of songwriters.

The shows started small. We made a big ol' dinner for everyone and transformed our living room into a cozy listening space. The shows grew super fast. Before we knew it, more and more musicians were asking us to play and the audience kept expanding.
