FAIRFAX, Va. — A D.C. area public relations consultant got the performance of a lifetime Sunday night, when singer Kenny Loggins appeared in his living room.

Erick Sanchez raised more than $30,000 through Kickstarter to have Loggins play a gig at his parents’ Oakton, Virginia, home. More than 230 people donated to the effort. About 50 of those people, who donated $300 or more, were granted a seat for the living room concert.

“Everyone had a really great time, I mean, the energy in my living room was fantastic,” Sanchez said after the show on Sunday night, which he described as “surreal.”

“Who can say they had Kenny Loggins play in their parents’ living room?” Allison, a friend of Sanchez, asked. She was one of the first people to donate to the Kickstarter campaign.

Sanchez, 29, said working on the show was like working on a wedding.

“In this hypothetical scenario when I do get married, I hope I spend as much time on that as I did on this,” he said.
