ConcertsInYourHome.com adds “how-to” videos to help artists promote house concert performances to their fans.

.

Despite the simple and straight-forward term, the mention of “house concerts” often draws blank stares and question marks from people who have not yet experienced one of these intimate, low-production-cost music performances. House concerts have been going on for centuries (classical parlor concerts, blues and jazz “rent parties,” etc.), but are becoming an increasingly vital part of acoustic and small-act tours.

CIYH has made available the first of a series of “how-to” videos so that artists and hosts can better communicate (and promote) the concept to their fans and friends, respectively. The video includes pictures of dozens of artists as well as live shots taken during house concerts around north America. It also features some short video clips of actual house concert performances.

The video is available on YouTube, and several pages on the ConcertsInYourHome website. Artists are encouraged to use the video (it’s a free tool) to inspire their fans to join the growing house concert community. The site already features hundreds of artists and house concert venues from around the world, although the majority of the activity occurs in the U.S. and Canada.

ConcertsInYourHome.com is a free website to promote the growth of house concerts around the world. The site is funded by (optional) artist memberships, that allow access to the growing database of house concert venues.
