Minden Music House Concerts

Minden Music — Free House Concert Garden Parties!
JULY 19 | AUGUST 16 | SEPT. TBA
Our family’s 20-year run of producing or assisting in live music events ended when the world stopped in 2020. But we made too many music friends along the way and we needed an excuse to see them, so we built a little backyard stage! Welcome to MindenMusic.com, the home of Doug & Mindy's House Concerts in Minden, Nevada.

The purpose of this website is merely to organize RSVPs as we only have room for about 50 attendees. This is not a business. These are free garden parties for our music loving friends. No tickets or payments are required. (Although generous donations to the artists are highly encouraged. We will have a bucket out for showing your appreciation.)
HOW TO RSVP
Each date will state how full the parties are and if RSVPs are still available. Use the "RSVP HERE" form below the dates. Just fill in the blanks and submit. I'll send you our address and other details several times before the dates.
IMPORTANT DETAILS
NARROW CHAIRS ARE NEEDED!
We have seating for about half of the audience. If you have "YES" narrow chairs as shown, please bring them. If you'll need a chair, please let me know by texting your name and needs to 775-220-0995 AFTER you make your RSVP.
Please DO NOT BRING wide, "NO" chairs, as shown, as two of those take up three spaces and we need to maximize ALL of the space!
BYOB
Bring your own drinks. If you want to bring snacks, they must fit under your seats. There will not be any tables. (These parties are not pot-lucks.)
TIMES
Snag your seats beginning at 6PM. If the front is full please take a seat in the back. The house band will warm you up around 6:30 and we'll kick off the "show" around 7PM.

This date is COMPLETELY FULL
thanks!
SINGER-SONGWRITER•UKE
Since 2009, when she headlined our very first ukulele festival, I have admired Victoria's songwriting, creative drive, and constantly evolving bag of tricks. I consider her talent to be on par with the superstar singer-songwriters of my younger days. She's not only an award winning songwriter, she's also a wonderful vocalist, an accomplished mouth-trumpeteer, and an all around engaging entertainer.
MICHAEL POWERS
Saturday August 16
This date is 65% FULL
JAZZ•BLUES•POP•GUITAR•UKE
Michael is a consummate entertainer and brilliant guitarist who I coerced into adding ukulele to his act about 15 years ago. He weaves stories and sounds into his performances, (as you'll see in this video, as he imagines what it might have been like if James Brown had been a jazz artist.)
A Michael Powers show is a blend of Santana, George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, and more — many with whom he has performed!

And there's a House Band full of Pirates!
You may be treated to a short opening session by our house party band, loosley known as Roger's Rat Pack. We're a mostly-ukulele ensemble made up of senior-ish pirates who feel the wind but never put to sea.
What might you expect at Doug & Mindy's House Concerts?
How many of you have a childhood memory that won't go away, perhaps like this, of a particular old vinyl record?
