"All Kinda Music"
A house concert is basically like an old time pot luck atmosphere
where the musician(s) come to your home & perform for your
guests. It is intimate & casual, allowing artists & guests to enjoy
each other in ways that are impossible in public venues. This is
usually accomplished with no money out of pocket in the long run,
although we do require a deposit up front that is refunded at the
show. If you are looking for something different that your guests
will talk about for years to come, a house concert is for you. Here's
how it works:
The House Concert Plan:
- Make contact with us to plan date, time, number of
performers needed, acoustic or electric, etc. A contractual
agreement is entered into at that time.
- We will make a very nice flier to send as invitations to your
guests. It can be sent electronically or by mail. RSVPs are
highly encouraged.
- A minimum of 20 guests are required, up to however many
you'd like.
- Normally, a $20 "donation" per person is required, although it
can be less if more than 20 people are expected. That
donation can be paid in advance or upon arrival. (We avoid
"admission", as it makes your home look like a business to
authorities, which of course it is not).
- A pot luck dinner is usually served just before the
performance. Performers mingle with your guests during that
time.
- At show time, the guests gather in the area you choose, you
have the honor of introductions, and the performers usually
play two one hour sets, with a break in the middle for
chatting, CD sales, etc.
- Requests from the song menu are encouraged & enjoyed by all.
That's the general idea. Please see the attached contract & flier
for details. We'd love to do a house concert for you, so please give
us a call. We're sure you and your guests will be thrilled.
