The Habitat is the private home of Ken and Heather Settlemyer who are passionate about the importance of nurturing both local plant and animal wildlife and independent musicians.

Habitat-PhotoLive Music & A Wildlife Sanctuary… The concept of the House Concert is to provide a venue where musicians can come to be heard by those whose primary intention is to listen rather than to have music in the background.

We host musicians to perform at The Habitat approximately one to two times per month, either on our outdoor stage, or on the indoor stage in the event of inclement weather or upon musician request.

We are also proud to maintain over 1/4 acre of wilderness within an urban environment, providing much needed habitat for a variety of native species.  We plant only native species and manage or eliminate the non native species in that area.  We are delighted to play host, not just to excellent musicians, but to a plethora of beautiful butterflies.

All Habitat concerts are private events. Contact us for an invite or follow our Facebook Page.

We are a not-for-profit venue. All donations go entirely to the artists, some of whom will have traveled from out of state! 

BYOB and food to share is always welcomed, but not required.

We respect our neighbors and all noise ordinances and we time the concerts in consideration of both. 

You are welcome to schedule a tour! We will be proud to show you our work in progress as we make a miniature wildlife preserve in the middle of Bradenton, a haven for bees, birds, bats, butterflies, and music lovers!

We sincerely hope you join us when you are able!

 

The Habitat has chosen Singing For Change as our official Charity!  We will now make available “The Habitat” branded items including the Singing For Change Logo with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the charity.
