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 snacks, 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 no amplification
  • Performed in two, 40 minute sets with a 20-minute break
  • Known to house and feed the artist for the night
