Booking house concerts…

I know it’s a challenge keeping up with all the things you “should” be doing to promote your act. I wrestle with it too. But if you’ve made an investment in us (CIYH) - I want you to succeed. More and more artists are realizing the growing importance of house concerts. Like Hans York says, “house concerts are the emotional anchors of every tour.”

So here’s a reminder, of 3 simple things you can do, right now, to create a few ripples out there.

  1. Put a CIYH banner on your website and/or myspace page. People get gigs this way, they really do. It’s the easiest way to inspire your fans to visit us, and contact you.
  2. Email/remind your fans that you are touring, and you want to delight them with a personal concert.
    Like this. Or, here’s another approach.
  3. Take a non-musician friend to a house concert. Inspire them, inspire yourself. Check the house concert calendars in your area, and send an invitation request for a show that interests you.

If there aren’t any shows listed, bookmark the page. We continue to get 20+ new hosts each month, and new dates go up every day.

The number one reason that new hosts start up a series? They experience one somewhere else. Make it happen.

Thanks for being a part of this.

Your fan,
