About
Us

What Sets Us Apart

Not Loud Concerts was inspired by numerous jokes on the internet about wanting to go see a concert that was, “Not too loud, not too late, not too long and not too expensive.” 


With this idea in mind, Not Loud Concerts was created to showcase music based on the following principles:


  • Not too loud

  • Comfortable seating

  • No hidden fees or crazy ticket prices

  • Good parking whenever possible

  • Not too long


These concerts are created for the enjoyment of the audience and are not based on old traditions.

What to Expect

What The Show Will Be Like

At a Not Loud Concert the band will perform for around an hour with no intermission. The concerts will feature outstanding musicians performing in a lightly amplified manner with primarily acoustic instruments. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. 

 

Each concert will be audio recorded and emailed to the ticket purchaser about 2 weeks after the show.

Fantasy Waltz Night at the historic Chapel of the Flowers in Berkley, April 25 From 7:00-8:30
