Message from Fran:
Hosts helping hosts - here’s a win-win situation.
A new host joins CIYH and wants to find house concerts in their area they can attend. So they look on our calendars for upcoming shows in their area, and email an “invitation request” to see a show. This way, they connect with another host, pick up some house concert tips, and make some new friends.
Would you like to have an extra few seats filled at your next event? Would you like to meet (and help/inspire) new hosts who are just getting started? Log in and list your upcoming events!
Hosts helping artists - Hosts! Please recommend your favorite acts! So far we’ve added recommendations to 35 of our 600+ artists.
Your comments can be so helpful to these artists and to the hosts who’d like to consider booking them. Can you muster up a sentence or two for a few of your favorite (hosted) artists? I think you can.
Major CIYH improvements:
Yes! The new advanced artist search page is now a fabulous music discovery tool.
Trivia #1: Name three California artists who have recommendations from CIYH hosts.
New CIYH Hosts: (artist members can search “member since 2009-08″ using the advanced search. )
