house concerts and 21st century touring

concertsinyourhome.com “CIYH” is a growing community where artists and music fans can find each other to create small, private concerts in people’s homes.

Our goal is to advise, promote, and to create tools to help these artists and fans create fun, memorable house concerts.

Why?
Because today’s music fans want an intimate concert experience. House concerts provide an atmosphere with few distractions, and the opportunity for the audience to really get to know the artist.

Also, original artists find it increasingly difficult to make a reasonable wage by performing in clubs and traditional music venues. Today, most clubs can’t survive on music alone, and the distractions they add (TV, pool tables, etc.) usually distract from the concert experience. To survive, these clubs have to book acts that help sell alcohol. That’s great for cover acts - not so great for original artists.

We believe the value of music is best measured by memories - not alcohol sales. We also believe that house concerts are the best way to enjoy live music today.

You do not have to be a member to use this site - learn and look around as much as you like. Our efforts are funded by the artists you’ll find on the artist search page.

Details for submitting live reviews:

We’d like to encourage our presenter/hosts to tell us about their most memorable recent events. If you’ve booked a performer who’s listed on our site (there’s nearly 500 to choose from,) please send your Rave Reviews this way. We’ll pick the best one each month, and the winning author will get a free CIYH tshirt (value T - choice of design) - and we’ll publish as many as reviews as we can.
