Our lineup for 2026

We are delighted to have a full schedule for 2026 once again involving some new artists and some we have hosted previously.

october 17th: dana cooper

We’re delighted to welcome singer‑songwriter Dana Cooper for his first performance at House Concerts on Longdale. Though new to our series, Dana brings more than 50 years of music‑making to the room—five decades of stories, craft, and connection shared with audiences across the country. His blend of Americana, Folk, and Rock feels right at home in an intimate space like ours.

Dana’s performances carry a rare mix of virtuosity and vulnerability, the kind that draws listeners close. As Lee Zimmerman of American Songwriter notes, “Few artists can claim to make music for 50 years and still do so with the same eagerness and enthusiasm that marked their initial efforts.” That enduring spirit is at the heart of Dana’s work.

From coffee houses to major concert halls, Dana has built a devoted following through his warm presence and the way his songs bring people together. His music invites reflection, laughter, and shared experience—everything we hope for in an evening here.

We’re looking forward to another evening of music and good company. We hope you can join us..
