Book J.P. Clardy for a House Concert:

What is a house concert?

A house concert is an invitation-only concert in someone's home, presented by a host who does not profit from the event. House concerts are usually...

     -held indoors and on weekends

     -attended by 20-50 people

     -paid for by a $10-20 donation per guest, a donation after the performance, or a guarantee 

     -known to include light snacks, beverages, or a pot luck dinner

     -attended by host's friends, neighbors, co-workers, and maybe a few fans 

     -attended by adults only (approximately 25-60 age group).

     -performed with little to no amplification

     -very intimate (audience sits close and is attentive)

     -performed as two, 40-minute sets with a 20 minute break

     -known to house and feed the artist for the night

Things To Remember: 

     -Invite double the number of people expected to attend for a successful turnout.

     -Choose an appropriate space for the concert such as a living room, backyard, or garage.

     -Have guests arrive one hour before the show for refreshments and comfort.
