Bodie House Music at the Thousand Oaks Library - is a collaboration betwen Renee Bodie and Library Director Steve Brogden. Renee Bodie has been presenting house concerts in her home for many years, developing over the years personal relationships with many of the country's top acoustic artists. After attending one of those concerts, Steve contacted Renee and asked if the basic concept could work in a larger setting, perhaps a library setting.  The idea was that she could present artists who would attract a bigger audience than her house concerts could accommodate and, at the same time, bring to the community high-quality artists who might not otherwise have an opportunity to perform in the Conejo Valley.  She was enthusiastic and the concert series began in April 2008 with The Joel Rafael Band. Jonathan Edwards followed in May and The Refugees in September.  Renee's contacts in the singer-song-writer world have allowed the Thousand Oaks Library to be able to present to the community some of the most talented and prolific acoutistic artists performing today.  For schedule click here
