There’s some­thing amaz­ing about a con­cert in your home. For the artist, it’s about hav­ing an audi­ence that is focused on lis­ten­ing. For the audi­ence, it’s an inti­mate expe­ri­ence shared with friends in a com­fort­able set­ting where you can hear every word of a song and inter­act with a musi­cian in a way that traditional venues don’t typ­i­cally allow.

Here’s how a house con­cert works:

• You have a space that can com­fort­ably hold 15+ peo­ple. The aver­age house con­cert seems to be about 25 peo­ple, but smaller or larger is fine.
• We’ll set a date and time for the event, then you invite your friends. Peo­ple that will appreciate the music and set­ting. These are lis­ten­ing events. It can sometimes be tough for young kids (and some adults) to respect the quiet, inti­mate setting.
• I’ll have a tip jar and merch to sell. I ask that you let every­one know that a sug­gested dona­tion (around $10-15 on aver­age) is very much appre­ci­ated and that 100% of the dona­tions go to sup­port­ing the artist.
• Invite every­one to arrive early or to stay after the show to chat. Once the music starts it’s best for the artist and the audi­ence if every­one set­tles in to listen.

If you’ve got a liv­ing room or a back­yard, let’s fill it with music. If you can pull together 10 peo­ple or 100 peo­ple, I’ll show up, gui­tar in hand. Contact me and let me know if you’re inter­ested in host­ing your own house concert.
