Book a House Concert! What’s a “House Concert?” It’s exactly what it sounds like. The fastest-growing trend in live, original music is to bring the (often unplugged) artist to your home and invite all your friends and family! We’ve had the good fortune of performing successful house concerts since 1999.

House Concert Basics

Performers love what they do and they also have to make a living at it. Typically, house concert guests pay $15 to $20 each. If you have 30 guests, that’s $450 to $600. Typically, all proceeds go to the performer (I don’t know anyone who presents house concert and expects to make money on the deal). It has to be for the love of the music. Sort this out with the performer in advance to avoid misunderstandings. Of course, the rates reflect the times, and times are hard, so it is wise to negotiate. You will find many artists are in the same shape and would love to play for less. Remember that distance and travel impact cost, etc. Sometimes a bed, warm meal and good company helps a lot! Some concerts come in around $10 each. 30 people = $300. It all helps keep our artists from starving. These folks are fine human beings making it easy to connect!Rufus Smith
