E10 Chilton House

Small Venue Music

We are excited to welcome Angi Baber and Rob Pannell, owners of Chilton House, to the show. Together they have hosted touring artists in their Richmond home for several years, putting on some of the most unique shows for artists and audiences alike. Chilton House is a venue like no other, offering fans a place to enjoy their favorite music while supporting and connecting with their favorite artists.

In this episode, we talk with Angi and Rob about how they were brought together by their love of Alex Chilton of “Big Star'' as well as “The Replacements.” The two went on to purchase a former family practice clinic and turned it into their dream home, realizing they could bring their love of live music to Richmond in the form of house concerts.

We then hear about the logistics of Chilton House shows, from travel schedules to equipment setup to sleeping arrangements. All ticket proceeds go to artists, and the entire process of these concerts are for the benefit of musicians, with the obvious bonus of providing a great listening experience to the community. The relationships fostered with both artists and audience members keep many coming back and create a familiar atmosphere that welcomes newcomers.

Lastly we discuss how Chilton House’s first and only rule shows respect for the artists and creates a better experience for audience members. Angi and Rob also go into the history of their extensive in-home video game and pinball collection, with Rob being a ranked player. This area of their home, filled with instruments and art adds a unique twist to an already special place. Angi and Rob discuss goals for the future and how they plan to keep putting on shows that add so much to the Richmond music scene.
