House concerts are a gathering of folks in a private home who love live, fresh music and the artists who provide it. House concerts are quickly becoming a sought after venue for musicians wishing to connect with their audience in a more intimate way. Our River Haus Concerts are a unique blend of gifted artists, great food and new friends in a beautiful, riverside setting. Our guest musicians share their music in the comfort of the B&B living space with amazing sound and lighting. Our B&B guest rooms include the Haus Concert experience as part of their stay. Guest rooms are still available as are advance tickets for friends (this means you!) and locals. Take a look at our 2012 River Haus Concert Series and come join us soon!

Michael Powers has been integrated with the Seattle Music scene for over 30 years. He graduated from the prestigious Cornish College of the Arts in 1982. Says Powers, “I learned how to play by sitting in at as many places as I could, developing eclectic tastes by playing with all types of bands: Jazz, Rock, Blues, R&B, and Top 40. I wanted to learn how to play any kind of music that featured a guitar as a solo voice.” Influenced by a diverse group of musicians including Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, George Benson, Miles Davis, and Kevin Eubanks, Michael has shared billings with piano giant Herbie Hancock, classic Jazz saxophonist Eddie “Clean Head” Vinson, the legendary Ray Charles, Afro-pop star King Sunny Ade, Grammy award-winning vocalist Diane Schuur, R&B greats Gladys Knight and the Pips and Jazz artists Ronny Jordan, Tom Grant, David Benoit, sax great Ernie Watts, the Yellowjackets, and the duo of Tuck & Patti. “It’s hard to categorize my music, although it usually ends up in the Jazz record bins,” says Michael. “If I had to put a label on it, I would call it contemporary instrumental music. It’s a sound rooted in the Jazz tradition that keeps pace stylistically with Pop, R&B, and Blues; with Blues being at the core of my inspiration.” The Tacoma News Tribune says, “Michael Powers has established himself among a new breed of guitarists and composers who, with each album and every performance, continually redefines the guitars’ role in the jazz context. His technique is stunning, but he never employs it at the expense of the musicality of the melodic line. Blues has always been at the core of Michael’s inspiration and expression.”

Tickets are $35.00 for this intimate performance and includes dessert. Doors open at 7:00 pm for ticket holders, please call 509-548-9690 to reserve your tickets in advance. Adults only. (Tickets are included with a two night stay)
