Established in 2016, Camp House Concerts is a mid-size, outdoor entertainment venue located back in the brush in Nixon, Texas. The venue is multifunctional but caters towards live music concerts within the genres of Country, Blues, and Singer & Songwriter. Offering a unique and personalized experience to our guests along with quality hospitality for our performers is what sets the venue above others. 65 & Sides Society is an exclusive group made up of family and friends calls this venue home. In between events, Camp House Concerts dedicates their time to serving up news, updates and resources from around the music industry with their Country Music Blog.
The Camp House was built sometime in the early 1900’s and still sits on the same foundation and includes some original pieces. In 2006, the snakes and rats were drug out, rotten boards torn off and broken windows removed. Within the next few years, we worked on replacing the siding, roof and even added a patio area that was designed with uniqueness in mind.
It was a family project mostly throughout the late 2000’s until the kids moved out to go off to school. Bud prolly figured he couldn’t start sprucing up the place until his son had moved out and wouldn’t be around to break those new windows with any wild parties. Today, the Camp House has a full kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
Around 2014, we had put a retired cargo trailer next to the Camp House to use for storage. A couple of years later, with the help of Cody Tuberville, we were installing the foundation for the stage and soon enough the canopy. In December of 2016, we put our idea of hosting concerts into play and the venue Camp House Concerts was established.
The first Camp House Concerts event was in early 2017 and it featured Rodney Hayden and his band, James Steinle, and Sylvia and Matt Kirk. To date, we have had many concerts and performers grace us with their guitar pickin’ and storytelling’ in- cluding notable artists-Dallas Wayne, of SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country channel, Richie Allbright, Jason Allen and Kelly Kenning to name a few.
The Camp House Concerts venue continues to grow and improve one Shiner Bock at a time!
The 65 & Sides Society is a small, unique group of friends and family, drawn together by the Camp House, that come together to put on one of a kind, live music concerts exclusive to members only.
What makes the 65 & Sides Society different than other musical music loving groups or communities is the way they invoke a bond between their members by coming together over music, conversation and sides. Yep, sides! At any 65 & Sides Society Concert Series, you’ll find a mouth-watering main course accompanied by more than 50 side dishes and desserts all of which are provided by the attending mem- bers. Here at Camp House Concerts, we don’t think that there is there a better way to build a friendship than over good music and even better food.
The 65 & Sides Society is exclusive in the sense that you have to know somebody to be invited to join, and concert spots are not open to the general public. Once you become a member, you are the keyholder to your allotted concert spots - much like season tickets.
Benefits of being a member is the unique and personalized experience you get at the concerts. That experience is gained through unique interactions with performers such as, meet and greet, photos and the “front row” view that every seat offers. This is possible by keeping the crowd size at a minimum which therefore eliminates the overwhelming crowd sizes, undesirable lines, unsanitary facilities and most impor- tantly, inconsiderate people that you are sure to encounter at a large, mainstream concert.
EXPERIENCE - To create a personalized and intimate experience through unique interactions with performers such as, meet and greet, photos and etc., by keeping the crowd size at a minimum.
