Almost everything you wanted to know about house concerts.

Here it is. http://squidoo.com/houseconcertfastfacts

Wow. More than 100 responses in less than 24 hours. Very interesting results too.

  • What day of the week sees the most house concerts?
  • How much do hosts spend to put on these events?
  • How do they find or book acts?

Here’s a sample:

Survey - HOA

I knew that most house concerts happen on Saturdays… but more than half? Add in a healthy percentage of the two “varies” responses, and I would bet that Saturday accounts for more than 70% of house concert dates.

The sample is from April 8th, so things may change a bit since the survey will remain open for a while.

Have a look, and please participate if you are a host. I’ve also added more questions thanks to many suggestions from the hosts who participated early. You can go back and finish it now…

I received a lot of follow up questions that don’t easily fit into this format, like:

  • How do you publicize?
  • What’s the most effective way of growing your audience?
  • Who are your favorite artists?

I’m working on a way to present these questions, but please use the comment section of the survey if you have questions or comments you’d like to share.

Thanks everyone!
