House Concerts

What is a house concert?

A house concert is an acoustic concert in a home, apartment, rec room, barn, lawn, garden, or back yard.  The host, who opens their home for the concert, invites their friends, family, and/or coworkers to enjoy an evening filled with acoustic music in an intimate setting.  The concert is for designed for a listening atmosphere and allows the musician and audience to get to know one another through the songs, stories, and conversation.

How Does It Work?

• As the host, you invite however many people can comfortably sit in the room or space available. This can be as little as 4 or as many as you like.
• You choose the length of the concert. Anywhere from 45 – 90 minutes is recommended.
• Set an arrival time, with the concert usually starting 30 minutes after the arrival time. This gives everyone a chance to mingle a bit before the concert starts.
• Adding a potluck to the evening can add to the fun!  Ask everyone to bring their favorite dish and beverage.
• If you or your friends also play music, you might find it enjoyable to invite them to bring their guitars to have a song circle to close out the evening.
• As the host, you choose whether you want to sell tickets or set up a donations jar.
