-- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --

APRIL 24, 2019 - Laramie House Concerts (http://www.laramiehouseconcerts.com), a volunteer organization whose purpose is to encourage talented artists whose tours would otherwise merely pass through our state to perform in Wyoming, is excited to announce an upcoming concert by singer/songwriter Steve Goodie. Steve is known worldwide for his original comedy music and parodies, as well as for being the originator of “Wizard Rock” - songs based on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books (which, like the books, are not just for kids). The show will include “standup level” adult humor.

Steve is the longstanding host of the famed Open Mic Night at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, which has launched the careers of many well known singer-songwriters, and has been featured hundreds of times on the Dr. Demento Show (a weekly comedy music show that ran for decades on radio stations nationwide and has now become a podcast). He's also the recipient of a 2016 Logan Award for Excellence in Comedy Music. If you like clever comedy music, Harry Potter, and/or just seeing tremendously talented musicians, come to see Steve on Friday, May the 10th, when Laramie House Concerts will be hosting him in the downtown loft which, appropriately enough, we have dubbed the Room of Requirement. The concert will coincide with the end of the semester at the University of Wyoming, so this will be an ideal activity for students celebrating the end of classes.
Here are some samples of Steve's music:

Doors will open at 7 PM and music will commence at 7:30. Coffee, bottled water, and soft drinks will be provided. As is traditional for house concerts, the performance is “pay what you want,” with a suggested donation of $10 per adult for the artist. Attendees are asked to RSVP to the e-mail address rsvp@laramiehouseconcerts.com, or via the group's Web site at

Accommodations are available for those who have limited mobility or are otherwise unable to climb the stairs to the loft. A sign language interpreter can be arranged with a week's advance notice.

The goal of Laramie House Concerts is to give touring artists who would normally bypass the small but culturally rich city of Laramie, Wyoming a good place to play, a receptive audience, and a warm welcome. Past concerts have included artists such as Marian Call, Small Potatoes, Four Shillings Short, and Eliza Rickman and have received rave reviews from local journalists at the UW Branding Iron and Laramie Daily Boomerang. Laramie House Concerts are not for profit and all donations received at the show go directly to the artist.
