Interested in hosting a House Concert?
Would you like to host a house concert? Or do you know of someone who you think would like to hear my live music?
My family and I will be sharing my music on the road again in 2025. We plan to head to both the west and east coast!
What does a House Concert look like?
It’s pretty simple really, here’s the basic outline…
a recommended minimum of 20 guests
optional light refreshments
a little over an hour concert in your house
If it feels like a difficult thing to pull off – don’t be intimidated, it’s surprisingly easy and fun. If you have ever had a group over for a cookout, to watch a movie or hosted a birthday party, you have all the skills necessary to be a house concert host.
What does it cost?
Full transparency, it’s hard for me to make less than $300 to host a house concert. But it’s possible for you to host it for free! Here’s how I generally do house concert.
I do donation based concerts! Its free for people to walk in the door and walk right out if they want to (but hopefully not I get the chance to say hi) - I have a donation jar, Venmo, card reader… Basically however people want to support me I’ll take it! My aim isn’t to make hosts or the attendees pay anything before they get to hear my music. I give my music away as a gift and generally people feel lead to give a finical gift back to support me. I sell merch such as T shirts, CDs etc… and between donations and merch sales I aim to make at least $300.
Where do you travel?
I travel all over the country! I structure my tour around the hosts. That means at first, I get a list of interested hosts, then I plot my route by region, and then I nail down the actual dates for concerts.
What Equipment Do I Need?
I generally travel with a small sound system but a lot of them time I don’t need to use it. Unless I am playing in a larger venue where they already have a sound system built in I bring everything I need. Just make sure there is a plug near by to power.
Some of my best shows have been when I’ve played unplugged, without any amplification. That’s always my preference to be honest!
How do I become a host?
Here’s how it works:

I’ll contact you and we’ll figure out the best date for your concert.
We’ll communicate leading up the concert over email and then…
When the day arrives, I’ll show up at your house and sing for you and your friends.
Why House Concerts?
House concerts are a chance to have an intimate event where I can tell stories about the songs I’ve written and we don’t have to worry about the fourth wall. In your home or community space we get to know one another and share in the beauty of fellowship. I tailor each concert to the people in the room. Let’s create a memorable night together!
