What is a house concert?
A house concert is a celebration of independent music in the comfort of your own home in the company of your finest friends, family and music aficionados.

How do I host a house concert?
In brief – you need some good friends, a largish indoor or outdoor space, lots of chairs and cushions, some space for BYO snacks/drinks and a small table for merch.
​
If you have a decent sized space that can snugly seat/beanbag/couch 15-30 (or more) people then you have all you need to host a fantastic night of music.

What about sound equipment?
We’ve got this covered! All we need is access to a power source.

How does the evening run?
This is flexible and up to the discretion and convenience of the host, but a typical house concert opens it’s ‘doors’ for friends and fans at say 7pm, when people arrive with their BYO, mingle, munch and drink with the artists and get comfy in the performance space.

There are usually 2 sets of music, each running for about 35-45 minutes. During the intermission and after the show everyone gets to enjoy the musical company of friends and strangers as well as time with the host and artists.

How much does it cost?
This is fully negotiable between the host and the artist, and in keeping with the spirit of house concerts, takes the form of a simple verbal agreement. The artist and host can either agree upon a set fee for the act, or agree to ‘donations’ from guests. This works the same way as people bringing drinks or a plate of food to contribute to the evening, and they should be made aware of this as part of the invitation.

In general, house concerts work best when audience numbers are within the range of 15-30 people and each guest contributes in the order of $15-$20.
