All across America people are inviting musicians into their homes to do private shows. House Concerts are quickly becoming a standard way for performers to showcase their music. And it's no mystery why. The rapid spread of this phenomenon is testament to how easy and enjoyable it is to create intimate concerts that enrich and reward everyone involved. This book clearly shows how you can join in on the excitement, how to have fun as a host or make money as a performer. If you are a singer/songwriter or small ensemble, this guide shows you, step by step, not only how to find house concert gigs, but how to create your own. You will even learn how to book a house concert tour and earn a living doing what you love! Who needs a record label?
Kimberli Ransom is a singer/songwriter from Portland, Oregon, who, along with her road manager, Doug McLeod, has toured extensively in the United States and Canada, doing house concerts all along the way. She has hosted, booked and performed at House Concerts for years. Her successful Word of Mouth tours have been featured in The New York Times, The Boston Herald, HBO and other national media. Join Kimberli and Doug as they gallivant across the country from one gig to the next with Niko, a large an lazy, overstuffed and crazy, furry feline. Adventures from the road, woven throughout the book, make for an entertaining read. From a concert at a political party-barn in Boise, to shows in studio apartments in New York City, the anecdotes and expertise in these pages make this book informative and fun.
