After we got home from the Zoo, Chis told me that his back was MUCH worse and he would not be able to make it to the House Concert we had both been looking forward to. I called my BFF and she was available at the last minute so off we went.
Most House concerts ask you to bring something to share, so I double checked with the artist and she said her friends were providing "some food" and to bring what I wanted to drink. My friend and I decided to get food beforehand and stopped at the White Harte in Woodland Hills. I had a lovely beet, brussels and cauliflower "Salad" the cauliflower and the brussels were warm and the beets were cold and placed on a bed of Spring mix. She had a really nice sausage roll. Excellent meals. The funny thing about beets is, I refused to eat them as a child. Ok so maybe my mom making HOT pickled beets did scar me, they smelled and tasted horrid. Tried them again as an adult- not pickled, nor heated- and I found I really liked them. My friend had a similar aversion but tried these and was also surprised that they tasted...good! Nice little pub, good food, decent prices, good service.
The House Concert featured Bernie Barlow (please visit BernieBarlow.com to hear her!) and Little Days. They were- and probably are- trying to get funds to cover their upcoming East Coast Tour (and if you are reading this and can see them PLEASE DO!) I "found" her when she sang background vocals for the wonderful Cindy Alexander. I picked up her solo CD " redeemed" and will be writing a more comprehensive review for this and other sites, suffice it to say I really like it!
The House Party crowd was warm and welcoming and the "some food" appeared to be a table FULL of goodies. We found comfy chairs on the patio near the heater and settled in.
The band was great. they were test running the set they will do on the road and it was great. I really got lost in some of the music. Little Days was particularly intricate.
We left soon after the show ended. It was a lovely night.
Check out both bands
And stream Bernie Barlow's new single "Stay Right There" on whatever platform you listen to!
More about Sunday's adventures later today.
