House Shows vs House Concerts vs House Parties

Language clues… the words we use are important.

House “Concerts” are what we do. CIYH focuses on non-aggressive music, mostly acoustic, usually with an ensemble that doesn’t have a full drum kit. Suggested donations and accommodations are usually enough to respect the caliber of national touring artists.

House “Shows” tend to be punk or aggressive rock, with a pass-the-hat mentality that would make it hard for a solo act to survive, much less satisfying the needs of a full band.

House “Parties” are events where music takes a back seat to the festivities, socializing, and theme of the night. We recommend a DJ, not a performing songwriter.
