(sorry for late post but) as 2019 has come to an end.. we want to thank all of you for coming out to our shows this year and supporting the artists and just being amazing people in general. its been an amazing year of shows & every single one of them was memorable. this isn’t just about 2019 because the next show we have will be the last one for a while. Ian will be moving out of birdhouse in february and liana is leaving to be in japan for about 6 months(mayb a year). Liana will continue doing shows once she gets back, but till then birdhouse will be sad and empty.. waiting 4 u to return. the past 2~3 years have made us some of our closest friends and given us a community more supportive and kind than we could’ve ever expected. thank you for the sweet notes and gifts you’ve left us around the house, sent us in the mail and online, we keep all of them. We look forward to seeing you all at the MLK day benefit show (event link in comments!) and wish everybody a safe & happy year ♥️🌝⭐️🖤 we love you all!

Hey hello! Ian here. Just wanted to say if we’ve been slow in getting back to you it’s not intentional! School and work have been kicking my butt this semester and doing shows is a lot of extra work on top of that. That being said I’m gonna try to get back to everyone who’s reached out by the end of this weekend! Much love 🖤✨

Our Story

Birdhouse (f.k.a. The Empire) is a D.I.Y. event space located in the college town of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. From the summer of 2017 until late winter of the same year, the space operated as “The Empire,” an apartment loft space for smaller, more intimate shows. Since then, shows have been moved to Birdhouse, which is a more spacious basement location for bands to play gigs in a non-corporate, home-y, inclusive environment. We are adamant about being a SAFER SPACE.
