For more information, send an e-mail to musictapescaroling@gmail.com. Please note in your e-mail if you’re willing to entertain outside guests, and whether you can offer the carolers a place to sleep. This could be the most unusual house concert you ever have a chance to host!

If you’re rather attend than host, you can find the address of one of the homes in your area that will be hosting the carolers: e-mail musictapescaroling@gmail.com for the address and time of a performance near you.
