House Concert Tip of the Month for Artists: Team Up!

Somewhere in your area, there is an artist who:

  • is talented and motivated
  • is looking for opportunities to play
  • if facing the same struggles to build audience as you are

Maybe there are several artist who fit the bill. What if you emailed or approached them with the idea of putting on two house concerts? You host one for them, they host one for you.

Even if your living spaces are totally inappropriate (they probably aren’t) you each should have a couple of good friends who’d be willing to co-host in their homes. Sometimes you just have to ask nicely until the timing is right.

The world is filled with people who are willing to help, especially if you give them a fun or compelling reason to do it. Offer to help with as many of the details as possible (invites, extra barstools, clean up, etc.) so all they have to do is attend the party and invite a few neighbors and friends.

Why should you do this?

  • You share your audience, your effort, and your enthusiasm.
  • You each collect much more than you’d get at a club.
  • You introduce some great new fans to the house concert world, and maybe, you generate a lead or two to repeat the process.

If they don’t know what a house concert is, and what a great experience it can be, send them to us. We’ll show ‘em. 8^)
