When words fail, music speaks.
Granite Shoals Studio is a home concert venue with a small stage, a real sound system, and an audience that came to listen. Free, invitation-based house concerts showcasing local musicians and songwriters.
The music is the whole point
No noisy bar, no expensive drinks, no craning past a crowd. Just songs, the people who wrote them, and a room full of friends who came to hear both.
A true listening room
Seating in rows or at tables, an in-house sound system, and a quiet, attentive audience. Performers tell us it's the rarest thing in live music: a room that actually listens.
Free, friendly, direct
Concerts are private gatherings among friends — free to attend, by RSVP. If you'd like to support the artist, your donation goes straight to them. The venue takes nothing.
A community, not a crowd
Easy parking, early start, home at a reasonable hour — and a room where friends and soon-to-be friends gather around live local music, twice a month or so.
Upcoming concert
Your first house concert, in four steps
Email or call us for the concert you'd like to attend. Attendance is by invitation and RSVP.
We share the street address and parking notes when you RSVP — it's our home, so we keep it off the public page.
Doors open one hour early. Bring a snack or beverage to share, meet like-minded people, and enjoy the show.
If the music moved you, give directly to the performer — every dollar goes from you to them.
The Fort Worth Report
“Where I Live: East Fort Worth couple open their home for community concerts” — the Report visited Granite Shoals Studio and told the story of how Myra and Phil turned their home into a stage for local musicians.
So impressed with your work and your continuing generosity of spirit and welcome.
