Welcome to Our Website!

Steve & Judy Cottingham are thrilled to host a quarterly concert series in their mountain lodge-style home called "Wilder Lodge", in Keowee Key in upstate South Carolina. Limited to 45 guests per concert, these events provide up-close and personal musical experiences with some of the best jazz, folk, rock, progressive country, and contemporary songwriters in America.

Our first event... a resounding success!

Our premiere concert was held on Saturday afternoon March 29 and featured pianist/composer Wayne Gratz. He performed to a standing-room-only crowd, and his music filled our home with exhilarating, reflective, soothing, refreshing, and invigorating sound. Read a sampling of comments from some who attended:

“What a magnificent afternoon!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for providing such glorious music... We so enjoyed ourselves and look forward to many other concerts.”

“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the concert yesterday. What amazing talent Mr. Gratz is blessed with!!! Thank you for the all the work you did to make this happen. I felt truly blessed...”

“THANK YOU for opening up your beautiful home for such a wonderful concert... What a great way to showcase talent in a comfortable and relaxing home environment.”

Our summer event features Sonia Lee!

Join us on Saturday July 26 for a relaxing evening with acclaimed singer/songwriter Sonia Lee of Nashville. Selected as one of 32 finalists (out of 800) in the 2008 Kerrville Folk Festival, she sings from her own personal experiences. Her music is a combination of the folk and country genres — her voice has an ethereal quality reminiscent of Allison Krause.

Seats are available for $12 per guest. Please call Steve Cottingham at (864) 903-4764 to reserve seats. Coffee, tea, and desserts will also be provided, gratis.
