Paul Schreiber’s shows sound like the fantasy of high school kids yearning for a bit of rock. He invites musicians to play in his living room, brings over some friends and lets everyone party. That’s how his House Concerts work–though they’re a little different than your typical 11th grade rager. First, Schreiber is well out of high school (he’s a software engineer at Apple), it’s legal for him to serve wine at the shows and performers are more mellow acoustic than hardcore rock.
Capacity is about 30 people, so you’ll need to RSVP on his website before dropping by. All shows begin promptly at 8 pm and end around 10. From there, guests are invited to stay and hang out. Sound strange? Not so much: At least 10 other towns around San Fran host house concerts.
The city’s alternative paper, SF Weekly even gave Schreiber’s makeshift venue the award of “Best House Concerts” in its 2007 “Best of San Francisco” awards issue. Probably because, as Schreiber says:
It’s a wonderful way to experience music. You hear an acoustic sound in an intimate setting. There’s no smoke, no drunks and no obnoxious suits.
Now that rocks.
