IMPORTANT UPDATE

Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to suspend the Songmobile for now. We hope to be able to start it back up once it is safe to do so. Thank you for your support for this project.

In the meantime, we would love to offer you a private virtual mini-concert! If you’d like to sign up for one of these, click here!

SUPPORT THE SONGMOBILE

Donate

If you’re in the Bay Area, we would love to come and play a private mini concert for you… from our car. We’ve rigged up a little PA system and we will roll down our window and serenade you from a great distance. You can stay sheltered in place by listening from inside your house with the window open, from your front porch or stoop, or from your second story balcony. We want to keep you safe and keep ourselves safe, so we will maintain our proper social distance, and then some, by remaining in our car.

HOW TO SIGN UP

  • Using the scheduling tool below, click on link that corresponds to your location

  • Pick an available date and time that works for you

  • Enter your name, email address, home address, and cell phone (all info is confidential, of course)

  • We’ll confirm your date and time!

HOW WE’LL MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE STAYS SAFE AND HEALTHY

To adhere to social distancing guidelines, we will not leave our car and we ask that you listen from inside your house with a window open, from your front porch/stoop, or in your driveway. This is a private performance for you and the people at your residence (this can mean a show for one person!); this is NOT an opportunity to gather a crowd or large group. Your health and safety is our utmost priority, so please let us know if you have any concerns by emailing us at contact@thesingerandthesongwriter.com

WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN WE ARRIVE

We will let you know when we arrive by texting you. We have rigged up a small PA system that fits in our car. Depending on the configuration of your home, we can pull into the driveway or park on the street in front of your building. We will roll down our windows or open up our trunk. We will not be getting out of our car. We’ll perform between 15-30 minutes, depending on your availability and preference.

GUIDELINES

1. We will ONLY be accepting online donations. Cash and any form of physical payment will not be accepted. This is to limit and discourage any physical exchange or interaction.

2. If you have booked a timeslot (thank you!), we ask that you enjoy the music privately. This means that we will only be playing for you and the people you're sheltered with at your residence. We must insist that you stay physically isolated from us AND your neighbors.

3. If other neighbors hear us and come outside, they are welcome to listen. They must listen from inside their house or from their porch/stoop, but should not gather, approach the car, or approach other neighbors.

4. If any of these rules are broken or we feel that the situation is becoming unsafe in any way, we will have to stop playing.

NOTE: We believe in public health and we strongly support the Shelter in Place protocol. We understand that music is considered non-essential, but we also know that social isolation can have a serious and negative impact on folks. This idea of the Songmobile can ONLY work if we all follow the recommended protocol of staying physically separate from one another.

Thank you for working with us. Our intention is to bring a small amount of joy and relief to you in the SAFEST way possible.
