at airports... even on ferry boats.

　　Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.

　　Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O' Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and make­up tables.

　　"This is our first show at a hair salon，" Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance. Frank said she and band members, Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time "interacting" with the audience.

　　Concerts in people's homes, or small businesses such as O' Hair's, are becoming more popular, musicians say. "There is a more relaxed atmosphere，"said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O' Hair Salon to concerts. "People really get to know the artists."

　　At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often, the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.

　　"People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，" said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers, a folk­rock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones. Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.
