Ruth has been playing shows in living rooms across the country and abroad for eight years. Living Room Concerts are the most up-close and intimate way to experience live music; always a good time, they can vary in personality depending on the style of the host, home and type of event.
Some LRCs are private shows, but often people open their homes to a wider audience (generally friends of friends). Guests can bring food and drinks to share, and a hat is passed with a suggested donation. LRCs have also been very effective fundraising vehicles. Ruth has helped raise over $100,000 for schools and charities playing living room concerts.
Shows are generally performed without amplification and typically have between 35-60 people. The atmosphere is extremely intimate with audience members inches from the performance. For events in larger homes, schools, or businesses, chairs may be set up and light amplification used.
"This was a beautiful performance and an amazing show. Having Ruth play for our friends and family in the intimacy of our home was a truly wonderful event. We're still raving about her songs and cannot wait to have her back; her voice is incredible, it soared through our living room!"
- Deb Palazzi, Houston, Texas
"Her music was great and her warm and friendly presence really got the audience involved. I remember being blown away by the amazing power of her vocals and the depth of her lyrics…
I also remember how great it was to work with her leading up to the concert… The other thing that was nice about having Ruth Gerson play our house concert series was that she brought in some new faces that hadn't heard of us before but were big fans of hers."
