House Concerts on Longdale
A variety of music in intimate surroundings
We host a number of concerts in our home on Longdale each year. Check here for updates and send us a message below if you would like to be included in our mail list. We have a variety of artists lined up for this year, some who have been here before and some are new to us. We think you will find them to be enjoyable experiences. Brenda and Paul
We are delighted to have a full schedule for 2026 once again involving some new artists and some we have hosted previously.
We are delighted to welcome Bob Jacobson and friends back to our home for another memorable evening of music, song, and conversation.
On this August evening, Bob with Leo Hickman—performing as Sounds of Surprise—will open the program with a set featuring Bob on clarinet and Leo on mandolin. They are the only clarinet/mandolin combination in the DMV*. The second set will feature Bob on saxophone joined by Ron McCadden on guitar and vocals as Sounds Good. To cap off the night, Bob, Ron, and Leo will come together for an informal jam session. (*DMV – District of Columbia, Maryland & Virginia)
We are in for a wonderful evening of music and good company. Be sure to reserve your spot!
