House
concerts have existed in their present form for decades. Thousands happen every year.
Generally, a host will schedule a concert and invite 25-50 friends,
neighbors, and co-workers to attend. The set up for the show is usually
simple: move a little furniture around, bring in some extra chairs, and
create a little space for the performer. Although there are many
exceptions and variations from these guidelines, house concerts are
usually…
- Invitation only
- Held indoors and on weekends (outdoors in
great weather)
- Attended by 20-50 people
- Paid for by a $10-15 donation per guest
(for the performer)
- Known to include light snacks, beverages
or a pot-luck dinner
- Attended by host’s friends, neighbors,
co-workers or some artist fans
- Attended by a 25-60 age group
- Performed by solo, duos and small groups
- Performed with little to no amplification
- Very intimate - the audiences sit close
and are attentive
- Performed as two, 40-minute sets with a
20 minute break
- Artist’s CDs & merchandise are available
for sale
