Our small, intimate, smoke-free and alcohol-free "Coffeehouse" music room is host to singer/songwriters from all over the country who stop in Edom to entertain with their original music. With concerts approximately once each month, most of the money collected for ticket sales will go to the artist. Coffee, Soft Drinks, and Desserts are available before and during the concerts.

ADMISSION POLICY:
Since our room is relatively small (around 50-70 seats), we strongly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to insure seating. If you purchase in advance, you will be on the "Early Entry List" and be the first to enter the music room! Admission prices are indicated for each concert. Advance ticket purchases can be made up to the day before the concert using the BUY NOW button or by calling 903-852-2781 to arrange payment by check or by credit card. Checks must be received no later than 2 days prior to the concert (along with contact info in the event the concert is already sold out). Credit Card payments will incur a service fee (amount indicated in each concert description) to cover the cost of processing and any other fees (so that performers will still get the full admission). PLEASE NOTE that we are NOT a non-profit organization so any donations are NOT tax-deductible. In order to maintain a quiet listening environment, we ask that members of our audience please be over 13 years of age unless otherwise indicated.

COME EARLY - ENJOY EDOM!
Visit our galleries and shops
Have lunch or dinner in one of our restaurants
Spend the night in one of our B&Bs

The Old Firehouse is a "labor of love" brought to you by Jeff & the late Judy Gottesman. While we are not a "not for profit" organization, we still need to make a small profit in order to cover our expenses. Please consider making a donation to enable us to continue bringing the music we all love to Edom. Donations are NOT tax-deductible, but sure help us make ends meet. Thanks.....Jeff

This Concert is Sponsored by Dragonhead Retreat

The earth speaks to us in a myriad of ways — through ice cores, through uplift and erosion, through tree rings — languages we have the potential to restore our literacy in. Reconnecting with these quiet messages has set Seth Glier, an avid mushroom forager and a Grammy-nominated artist from Western Massachusetts, on a path of channeling nature’s longing for communion with humanity into song.

Seth’s gifts are an innate curiosity and a fierce desire to connect with other people. His musical acumen provides him with a vehicle for both. He was worked as a cultural diplomat for the US State Department and collaborated with musicians in Ukraine, Mongolia, China, and Mexico. Seth has shared the bill with a diverse list of artists ranging from the likes of Ronnie Spector, James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, & Glen Campbell. As a producer, music director, or studio musician he has collaborated with Sophie B. Hawkins, Tom Rush, Antje Duvekot, Richard Shindell, Doctora Qingona, Dar Williams, Nick Carter, & Cyndi Lauper. Seth is a five-time Independent Music Award winner and received a Grammy nomination for his album The Next Right Thing. With a commitment to using songwriting as a tool for positive change, he has written with the students in Parkland, FL for the “Parkland Project,” cowritten with soldiers at Walter Reed, and is an advocate for autism awareness citing his autistic brother Jamie as his greatest non-musical-musical influence.

Seth played here in 2013 and we knew nothing about him. At that time he just blew us away with his music! We are absolutely thrilled to have him back!

Nichole Wagner
(www.nicholewagnermusic.com)

Nichole Wagner’s music is a soulful blend of Americana and folk with a modern twist. Her haunting vocals and evocative lyrics draw comparisons to artists like Jenny Lewis, Stevie Nicks, and Neko Case. She released her first EP, Plotting the Constellations, in 2017, followed a year later by And the Sky Caught Fire, the full-length debut that established Wagner “as one of Austin’s most promising young singer-songwriters” — as noted by Austin-American Statesman critic (and No Depression magazine co-founder) Peter Blackstock. Even more auspicious was 2020’s Dance Songs of the Apocalypse, an eclectic covers EP that found her busting outside of the Americana/folk box with dazzling panache.

While the pandemic disrupted most touring efforts in 2020 and 2021, she focused her energy on writing and recording Plastic Flowers, a full-length record set for Summer 2023 comprised of candid and uncompromising originals. Again, produced by Justin Douglas with a diverse cast of Austin’s musicians, the first two singles, “Monsters” and “Raised by Wolves” find Nichole confronting the heavier topics of childhood trauma, boundaries, and navigating the realities of life.
