About Kristen Budde
Kristen Budde is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose honest and thoughtful lyrics feel like conversations with a close friend. Her Americana and Folk music blend powerful and gentle melodies, reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt’s soul, Bonnie Raitt’s grit, and Alison Krauss’s peacefulness. Recognized by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) as “one to watch,” Kristen’s voice is known for bringing life and light into a room. She passionately believes in the healing power of music and aims to create joy-filled connections and community through her craft.
Kristen debuted in 2022 with her single ‘Come Sit Down at My Table,’ inspired by the hospitality of dear friends, exploring themes of belonging and being heard. Her 2023 debut EP ‘Begin Again’ features six songs that take listeners on a journey of wrestling with fear, letting go, and finding the courage to live fully. Kristen hopes these songs inspire courage and hope, encouraging listeners to take brave steps to build lives they love. When not working on music, Kristen enjoys sipping coffee on her back porch and singing silly songs for her family and pets.
About Sundi Jo
Sundi Jo is an Americana/Roots Gospel Branson & Nashville recording artist and songwriter.
Imagine a voice that sounds like a blend of Lucinda Williams, Iris Dement, Anne Wilson, and Zach Williams, and you’ll find Sundi Jo. She brings a soulful style to her music that makes her unforgettable. Her voice and ability to write songs from the heart drive her passion to keep making music.
“I want to write and perform songs that people can really resonate with, really feel,” said Sundi Jo. “The world needs more vulnerability, and so does the church. I hope to provide that, along with some hope.”
Sundi Jo has a real, raw story of gritty redemption that her listeners can relate to. “ Her story will wound you, heal you, and help you see your story in light of a larger narrative.” – Jeff Goins, Bestselling Author & Speaker
Sundi Jo was eight years old when she heard Dolly Parton’s voice coming out of her dad’s radio atop the spicy rack in his tiny kitchen, singing “Silver and Gold.” It stopped her in her tracks, and music clutched her heart from that day forward.
“From that moment forward, I knew in my heart that I would grow up and somehow be involved with music.”

House Concert FAQ
Hosting a house concert is a unique and intimate way to enjoy live music. Here are some common questions and answers to help you plan your event.
I don’t have a big house. Can I still host a concert?
Absolutely! You don’t need a mansion. If you have a backyard or living room that can seat at least 20 people, you’re good to go. Alternatively, a community room or building can also work.
How many people should I invite?
An average house concert has 20-40 attendees. It’s a good idea to invite twice as many people as you want to come since not everyone will be able to make it.
I don’t know that many people. Can I still host?
Yes! Consider teaming up with a friend. You invite your friends, and they invite theirs. It’s a great way to meet new people!
How much does it cost to host a concert?
Hosting is typically free unless you choose to provide snacks or drinks. House concerts are usually donation-based, with a suggested donation of $20 per person. Because it’s donation-based, attendees can give less if they aren’t able to and can also give more should they want to.
How do I plan it?
House concerts are wonderfully low-stress events. Once we’ve chosen a date, we can decide on a start time together. You can then create a Facebook event, send an Evite, or email your network to spread the word. If the concert is outdoors, suggest that guests bring a blanket or lawn chair. Encourage them to bring a dish, turning it into a potluck. Remember, it’s all about enjoying time with friends, so there’s no need to stress!
How does the evening work?
It’s helpful to give guests an hour to arrive, settle in, and socialize before the music starts. The concert typically lasts 45-60 minutes.
You don’t live close to me, can you still perform in my town?
Of course! I would love to, and perhaps we can book some things in between here and there.
I’m excited! What do I do now?
If you have specific questions or want to look at hosting a House Concert of your own, shoot me an email here (booking@sundijo.com) and let’s chat!
What if the weather is bad for an outdoor concert?
It’s always good to have a backup plan. Consider having an indoor space available just in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.
