🎶 In The Community: Bluff View House Concerts 🎶
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just north of Holmen, David and Lori Schipper have been opening their home to touring musicians since 2008. It’s one of those true Coulee Region hidden gems—an intimate BYOB concert series where neighbors gather, artists share stories, and music fills the room in the best possible way.
The setup is simple: bring your own beverage, drop a suggested donation at the door, enjoy some treats at intermission, and settle in for a night of incredible live music. 100% of donations go straight to the artists, who also get a home-cooked meal and a night’s stay—making this one of the most personal and artist-friendly venues you’ll ever find.
👉 Curious to check it out? Here’s the next lineup:
Loveseat — Sat, Sept 27
Maygen & the Birdwatcher — Sat, Nov 8
Johnsmith — Sat, Feb 7
David Stoddard & Beth Wood — Sun, May 3
