Hello I love you!

Here’s what’s happening.

Next year, I’ll be touring Australia with my good friend Benjamin James Caldwell (check him out HERE). Then I’m getting on a plane to New York City where i’ll spend some time songwriting with brilliant people and then, well, many adventures await, which i’ll tell you all about soon

So, i’m wondering, Do You Want To Host A House Concert? or, do you know someone in Australia & New York who will?

If you want to get involved, all you have to do is email the delightful Xanthea on saltystockings@gmail.com before Tuesday 10th December and let her know where you live and that you want to be a Host. She’ll reply with all the info & how it all works, we’ll work out a date & other details together & voila we will have the Best House Concert EVER.

The approximate dates & some specific locations are written below. And, if you know of someone in any of these places that you think might like to get involved, please send them here to have a look… let’s keep this beautiful thing growing!

I'm very happy to announce mine and Buffalo Tales (aka Wes Carr)'s

beautiful east coast. All the venue dates are to your right or on

If you contacted us because you want to host a House Concert,
expect an email from our Head Unicorn, Xanthea, very very soon

To celebrate our upcoming shows, Wes and I spent some time at the

Hi everyone

Great and exciting news! In October, November & December 2013 I’ll be touring Australia again with my wonderful friend WES CARR aka BUFFALO TALES.

We’ll be visiting most big towns and a couple of little ones, playing in some gorgeous venues and playing a small number of extra special House Concerts across the country TOGETHER

We’ll be announcing more details of the tour soon but, for now, we’re asking all our beautiful fans DO YOU WANT US TO PLAY AT HOUR HOUSE?

If the answer to that question is HELL YEAH, and you live in PERTH, BRISBANE, ANYWHERE BETWEEN BRISBANE & SYDNEY, SYDNEY, CANBERRA, MELBOURNE or ADELAIDE we want to hear from YOU!

FILL OUT THIS FORM by Friday 13th September, it will travel through the atmosphere to our wonderful booking assistant Xanthea, she will conflab with you about details and stuff and pretty soon we could soon be coming to play for you, your family and friends IN YOUR HOME!

See below for more info on House Concerts and how they work, and email Xanthea saltystockings@gmail.com if you have any questions at all.

We can’t wait! See you at your place! XoSam & Wes

MORE ON HOUSE CONCERTS

WHAT IS A HOUSE CONCERT? A house concert is an intimate, personal, unique gig.. In your home! You invite your friends, family, neighbors, your neighbors dog – all the people in your life that you want to hang out with and share a one off musical experience with.

DOES IT COST ME ANYTHING? Nope. If you want to want to put on food or drinks or buy some decorations then that might cost you a little bit – but you don’t pay us to come and play. Instead, on the night (or day), each guest pays a $15 ticket price, which goes directly to the artists to pay for the show

HOW LONG DO YOU PLAY FOR AND WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW? Mostly, we’ll be able to make your House Concert start and finish whatever time suits you best. We’ll play our songs for about 1.5 hrs and the rest is up to you! Most House Concerts are played unplugged – with no sound equipment needed – so yours will probably be the same.

Xanthea will help you figure out what’s needed for your House Concert, and she’ll help you decide on times and other details too

TIPS Here’s a few things we recommend…

DECORATIONS are great, to create a personal, fun and special vibe. Candles, lamps, throws… get those creative juices flowing

SEATING is a good thing too. Couches, cushions on the floor, chairs… Make sure your guests are comfy for the show

INVITING people (is a good thing, obviously). It usually helps to remind people about the event, or send them the info a couple of different ways. You can use Facebook, email, text messages, carrier pigeon.. hey, you can even call them on the phone or tell them in person. There’s usually people that can’t come at the last minute and people that turn up unexpectedly. Allow for this and don’t be shy in reminding people and extending the invitation to friends of friends

FOOD & DRINKS are good to have. Make sure you let your guests know if they should be bringing them, or if you’ll be providing

TIME Once all the details are sorted and you’re House Concert’s locked in, make sure to let your guests know what time the shindig starts and what time the show will be. People love being fashionably late but we don’t want them missing the show!

I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS… Don’t we all. For House Concert related questions please email Xanthea saltystockings@gmail.com
