Host a House Concert
We take special care to understand the unique needs of each house concert to help a host create beautifully charming performances to help support the singer-songwriter movement and that exceeds everyone's expectations.
What is a House Concert?
They are non-profit private parties hosted by the home owner.
They are held indoors or outdoors.
They are usually on the weekends.
Paid for by $10.00 to $20.00 donations per guest- the proceeds of
the concert go completely to the musicians.
They include: the audience bringing their own food, potluck, or host selling small snacks, as drinks, chips, etc. [for very low cost with no profit].
Attended by the host's friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and
maybe a few of the fans of the artist.
Attended by an average of 45 to 99 year old age group.
Performed by solos, duets, and small groups.
The sound of the music is little or no amplification.
The neighbors are not to be disturbed by the concert.
A very intimate situation where the audience sits close to each other and is quiet.
The performance is two 40 min. to 1 hr. sets with a break in middle.
Artist is responsible to sell Cd's, & keeps all the profit.
Booked with or without a guarantee to artist.
Each host sets up their provisions uniquely.
They are a collaboration of the host, artist & friends, etc.
