Beth Bombara: Live at the Crosse House
May

Beth Bombara: Live at the Crosse House

Thirty seats. One artist. One historic evening.

The Sun Prairie Historical Society is opening the doors of the Crosse House for something a little different — an intimate, up-close concert with singer-songwriter Beth Bombara. Think house concert warmth, historic house charm, and music that was made to be heard this close.

Beth writes songs with real emotional depth — the kind that feel both personal and universal at once. In a room this small, you'll hear every word, every note, and everything in between. She floats on the horizon between 90's indie rock heart and 70's folk soul. An unlikely combination? Perhaps, yet her guitar-driven songs blend emotional honesty with sparkling melodies, creating something that feels both timeless and immediate.

This isn't just a concert. It's an experience — and with only 30 tickets available, it's one you won't want to miss.

  • Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation of $20. You can make a donation when you reserve your ticket, or on site via cash or Venmo.

  • Doors open at 7:00 PM, and music starts 7:30 PM.

  • This event is BYOB — feel free to bring your favorite wine, beer, or beverage of choice.

  • Sodas and light refreshments will also be available.
