House Concerts at the SandBox
The back yard at the Sandbox (117 E. Saturn Lane) is a rather awesome space if I do say so myself. It is spacious and shady and there are lots of comfy places to sit and strum -- or listen while others strum. In other words, it is a damn fine spot for great music.In general, shows are scheduled for the "off seasons" (Sept. -Dec. and April) and early enough in the evening to keep the noise complaints to a minimum. Sometimes we do a potluck, and we always pass the hat for the performer - suggested donation is $10.
Nobody is going to get rich or famous playing here, (well, probably not, anyway) but the perfomer gets to enjoy a night or three in the comfy condo upstairs and (hopefully) enough cash to pay for the gas it takes to get here (at the very least) and the island locals get a chance to hear music they wouldn't otherwise get to hear -- in a unique island setting.
In the unlikely event of inclement weather, the concert can be moved upstairs to the living area which can accommodate 20-30 people fairly comfortably.
For Guests: Parking is a bit of an issue so we suggest carpools or biking it if at all possible. You can park on the shoulder as long as you don't block a driveway - make sure you are completely off the road or risk getting a ticket. The Sandbox is just 2 doors down from Blackbeards which has great food and drinks -- and lots of parking ;-)
Take the stone path on the east side of the house to the gate and thank you for giving generously when the hat gets passed.
For Performers: I am partial to original, unplugged folky-bluesy music. Depending on my vacation rental bookings, I may be able to offer you a nice place to stay for multiple nights as well as guest donations. Note that I will only book concerts in the fall (Sept-Dec.) and in April. If you think we may be a good match, email lucinda@sandyfeet.com.
