What are House Concerts?
House Concerts are unique events where you can host a performance by a musical artist in your own home. Usually these concerts feature singer/songwriters, instrumentalists or folk artists. It is a friendly and intimate setting to really listen to music without the distractions of typical settings like cafés or bars. You get to share this experience with whomever you choose to invite, whether it’s friends, co-workers or family. Children are welcome, so families don’t need to find babysitters for the evening!
How Do I Put On A House Concert?
Invite friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, classmates or whoever you want to your place for a concert. Gather together chairs, couches or any other kind of seating in your living room and arrange them so everyone can be comfortably focused on the performer. If you don’t have enough chairs, borrow from your neighbors or friends! A PA isn’t always necessary, depending on how many people are in the audience and how big the space. You should be prepared for around 3 and a half hours of your evening to be dedicated to the event. This includes set up time, allowing guests to arrive, an 1.5 hours of music with a short break in the middle and clean up afterwards.
How Does the Artist Get Paid?
There are a couple of ways to make sure performers are paid. Some folks assign a door person in charge of collecting a set fee for the concert. Others are more comfortable setting out a “Donation” jar or basket or hat with a sign saying “$10 Suggested Admission – All Proceeds Go to the Musician(s)” or whatever you decide upon. Make sure your guests know in advance that there will be a donation box or set fee for admission, so there are no surprises.
As host, it shouldn’t cost you any more than hosting any other kind of party. You can choose to keep some of the proceeds to cover costs for any food, beverages, fliers or other expenses. Or you may choose to give all proceeds to the performer as your way of payment.
Get Creative!
If you think your living room is too small, how about an outdoor concert in the summer? Not sure what kind of food to provide? Have your guests bring some snacks! Need a special gift for a friend or loved one? This could be a great one!
