What is a House Concert?

A great house concert is a collaboration between the artist, a host/presenter, and their friends. It’s open to many variations but most house concerts are:

• Held indoors and on weekends
• Attended by 20-50 people
• Paid for by a $10-$20 donation per guest (to the performer)
• Include light snakes, beverages or a pot-luck dinner
• Attended by the host’s friends, neighbors, co-workers, and maybe a few fans of the artist
• Attended by a 25-60 age group
• Performed by solo acts, duos and small groups
• Performed with a very little sound system or now amplification
• Performed in two, 40 minute sets with a 20-minute break
• Known to house and feed the artist for the night
