In case your head is spinning as much as mine with all the opportunities (chores) of self-promotion, this one should be a priority. Its user acceptance is skyrocketing, and the interface is very friendly. Here’s a breakdown on how to make it onto Pandora.

House Shows vs House Concerts vs House Parties
Posted by admin on 16 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: General
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.
Now you know.
The problem with “house shows.”
