RESOURCES FOR FANS,
HOSTS, AND ARTISTS
The site is easy to navigate, rich with content, and useful for anyone interested in house concerts. The site has a popular and informative blog as well, "
House Concerts and 21st Century Touring."
Our Goal:
To promote and help create meaningful concert experiences for music audiences and deserving artists.
Why?
Because it is increasingly challenging for touring performers to draw audiences to clubs, and more difficult still to connect
with these audiences in a meaningful way.
For acoustic performers especially, today's venues offer too many distractions (televisions, pool tables, loud conversations,
etc), and are far too reliant on alcohol sales and a "Top 40" atmosphere.
How?
By promoting the concept of house concerts to artists and music lovers across the U.S. and beyond. This site is a fun and easy way for artists and house concert hosts to find each other.
It's easy for
artists and
music fans to become members of CIYH.
We believe the value of music is best measured by memories - not alcohol sales.
We also believe that house concerts are the best way to enjoy live music today. You do not have to be a member to use this site.
Our efforts are funded by donations, and the artists you'll find on the
artist search page.
CIYH makes no judgement regarding specific artists and hosts promoted on this site. We are not responsible for
their performance or conduct. We encourage artists to make references available.
Shop wisely - and have a great time!
