Please note: "Noble House Concerts" is simply the name we choose to describe our private parties, in our private home. These parties are NOT a business nor are they a business related activity. They are strictly a hobby for us, and are simply gatherings of our friends and guests to enjoy live acoustic music, fellowship, food (a potluck dessert buffet) and fun. Our concert parties are officially free (or else it might be considered a business), although voluntary contributions (suggested donation of $15 per person) are accepted at the party on behalf of the artists. 100% of all contributions go directly to the performers.

The daughter of a composer and an engineer, she was raised in South America listening to Carl Orff, Gian Carlo Menotti, Miriam Makeba and Mitch Miller. One of the unique performers on the national storytelling circuit today, she was featured at the 25th (1997) and 31st (2003) National Storytelling Festival, in Jonesborough, TN and regularly appears at regional festivals and theatres around the country. A virtuosa on Washboard, Angela's performances are a whimsical braid of poetry, story and song played on Autoharp, Tenor Guitar, Spoon and Bell.

The Santa Cruz River Band is comprised of Teodoro "Ted" Ramirez and Michael J. Ronstadt, two celebrated Southwestern troubadours. The Santa Cruz River Band was formed in the latter part of the 1980's in Tucson, Arizona by musician Teodoro "Ted" Ramirez. Ted started the band to help celebrate and present an authentic view of the Southwest. Ted is an eighth-generation Arizonan, and observed that many important contributions made by Indigenous people, Mexicans, Asians and some European people were rarely celebrated in historical or present-day publications. He sought to make the Santa Cruz River Band a cultural bridge that would span the obvious gaps using authentic music, poetry, oral history, stories and legends from the American Southwest. Ted was named Tucson's Official Troubadour in 2001 in recognition of his significant Southwestern culture preservation efforts. Michael is a member of a prestigious Southwestern musical family that most notably includes his sister Linda Ronstadt. Michael has over the years performed in a variety of Ronstadt family bands.and Tom & Dawn Kuzinkowski 
Jim St. Ours is a longtime member of Songmakers and has performed professionally in venues throughout the western states. His CDs contain elements of folk, country and bluegrass with themes of love, family and humor. |
