house concerts and 21st century touring

Last month I sent out an email to our CIYH hosts, to ask them to recommend their favorites, out of the many artists they have hosted.

There were no limits. Some hosts recommended 2 artists, some recommended 20. The full list is a bit long, so I thought I’d share the top recommendations with you.

This was NOT a scientific poll, but I found it interesting.

Artists who received 3 or more recommendations. (in alphabetical order)
