When I think of folk music, I immediately imagine a room filled with a wide variety of people listening intently to a singer emptying a bucket filled with life experience upon the audience. \u00a0If this sounds like an enjoyable experience that can be hard to find in the Omaha Metro area, then the FolkHouse is the place for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Located at 2440 Fontenelle Boulevard, the FolkHouse is a home owned by Jerome and Diane Brich. \u00a0Jerome is an extremely laid back guy who has a great sense of humor. \u00a0He is in charge of public affairs at Cox Cable and is also a musician. \u00a0He taught himself to play the guitar and the piano and has played in many folk bands throughout his life. \u00a0His wife Diane also loves folk music and the idea of musicians coming to her home. \u00a0“People can come here, listen to great music, have a good time, and I don’t even have to leave the house”. \u00a0Good deal, Diane.<\/p>\n

The FolkHouse Concert Series began in May of last year as a way for the Brich’s to “hear the music they wanted to hear and to expose others to folk music”. \u00a0Citing disdain for the concert and bar scene in Omaha, they decided to open their home to musicians who were influx between concert venues across the Midwest. \u00a0Since Omaha is viewed as a pit stop between Chicago and Denver in the eyes of many musicians, the Brich’s decided to capitalize on their opportunity. \u00a0By offering the performer free room and board as well as receiving money donated by the concert-goers, the ground for the FolkHouse Series was established. \u00a0There are usually around 10 shows a year depending upon artist availability.\u00a0 The suggested donation is $10.00; \u00a0an extremely cheap tariff when you consider what a treat you’re in for. \u00a0Their spacious home is the perfect size for a group of thirty to forty people to jam to some acoustic grooves. \u00a0There are no amps or electronic instruments of any kind, just a singer and a guitar.<\/p>\n

The Brich’s rely mainly on word-of-mouth for publicity. \u00a0Their mailing list includes around 200 people and their email contains around 200 more. \u00a0One thing that surprised me was the diversity among audience members. \u00a0Jerome told me the typical audience consists of people from ages 15 to 70. \u00a0That was exactly what I experienced. \u00a0Everyone was very laid back and genuinely happy to see you. \u00a0The energy was extremely positive and
\nnon-judgmental, which can be hard to find in this desolate region of our country known as the Midwest.<\/p>\n

The average show lasts between 1 1\/2 to 2 hours. \u00a0Just enough time to have an enjoyable evening and get the kiddies home to bed (children of all ages are welcome). \u00a0Guests are also encouraged to delve into a tasty spread of peanuts, cheese, crackers and various other hand to mouth delicacies. \u00a0Pop and water are also provided. As far as adult beverages it’s BYOB. So load up the cooler with Busch Lite and throw taste and caution to the wind.<\/p>\n

Upon entrance to the FolkHouse you’ll notice an assortment of fold out chairs that unlike a fine wine, DON’T improve with time. \u00a0(Being seated is optional.) \u00a0\u00a0Parking can be a little tricky since the FolkHouse is located directly on Fontenelle Boulevard. \u00a0My advice is to park in the Holy Name Church parking lot, 1 block away.<\/p>\n

On this night I had the pleasure of listening to Cosy Sheridan. \u00a0Cosy is originally from New Hampshire but resides in Utah. \u00a0Other than being an extremely cool lady, Cosy had the coolest earrings I have ever seen. \u00a0Can you beat two pink taster spoons from Baskin and Robbins on a loop? \u00a0I didn’t think so. \u00a0As you can guess, she had a great sense of humor and it really came across in her music. \u00a0Which included songs about women’s restrooms,
\nnot worrying and everything in between. \u00a0I implore you to pick up her CD. \u00a0You won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n

The next show at the FolkHouse is on May 4th. \u00a0The featured performer is Erica Wheeler.\u00a0 Wheeler who is based in Massachuetts is a singer songwriter who has 4 records to her credit. \u00a0She has performed at countless coffee house dates as well as festivals throughout the US and Canada. \u00a0Her most recent release “Three Wishes”, is a very personal and expressive album that shows you why the Boston Herald hailed her as a “major talent”.
\nWheeler has also opened for such well known acts as Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin, Iris Dement and Greg Brown. \u00a0Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote “this is new folk at it’s best”.\u00a0 The Kerville Kronical said “Wheeler is in a league that counts such hitters as Cash, Colvin and Chapin-Carpenter”. \u00a0Strong claims backed by a strong talent. \u00a0Her 1996 Release the “The Harvest” sky-rocketed her to new heights as she spent three months in the top ten of the Gavin Americana chart. \u00a0The album sold over 8,000 copies which as a result, allowed her a feature story on NPR’s (National Public Radio) “All Things Considered”. \u00a0Her mailing list contains over 5,000 people to date and is constantly expanding to the heights of her talent.<\/p>\n

For folk fans who are Jonesin! for the folk, the whole folk and nuthin’ but the folk, check out the Common Grounds Coffee House Concert Series in Benson. \u00a0They operate in connection with the FolkHouse Concert Series and donate all proceeds to Habitat For Humanity. \u00a0On April 27th, Jim Sailstrom will be performing at the Benson Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. \u00a0For information contact Kevin Killion at 551-0200.<\/p>\n

In my experience I have found folk music to be very unique when compared to other genres. \u00a0I haven’t been exposed to much of it, but what I have seen is very intimate because the performer is exposing a part of themselves at a very deep level. \u00a0That aspect alone makes it worth while to give yourself a chance to check out the FolkHouse. \u00a0So stick your foot into the pool and see just how cold the water is. \u00a0In other words, go to the FolkHouse!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about.
