For something a little different on your Friday night (or any night) consider hosting a Kurt Scobie House Concert.
A concert in your home can be one of the most memorable nights you'll ever experience. Here are a few reasons why you should consider hosting a Kurt Scobie House Concert:
1) An intimate setting. A house concert allows for the crowd to "get to know" the artist performing. A room of 20-30 people connects better to a performer than an audience of hundreds or thousands. It is usually much more casual as well. A relaxed environment can help everyone have a more enjoyable time.
2) Cost/Value. Many music venues have extra charges to cover staff, publicity, sound engineers, and other operation costs. Therefore, concert tickets can get pretty pricey. Not to mention the additional costs of over-priced food and drinks. When you host your own show, the cost is virtually zero.
3) Building Community. Life has become increasingly chaotic and fast-paced for many people. Hosting a relaxing and fun evening of music in your home can bring you closer and connect to friends you wouldn't otherwise see during a busy week. The memories made over a shared appreciation for music can bond people together and build a support system of close friends.
4) Fun. Touring artists have some of the most interesting, fun, crazy, horrific, and heart-wrenching stories and songs you'll ever hear. The combination of good friends and good music is a win-win for everyone. House concerts are just FUN!
The list goes on and on when it comes to reasons people host private shows in their home. What is most surprising to people is how easy it is to put on this kind of event. There are only a few things you need:
-Friends (or family, or neighbors, or co-workers, or random strangers...)
-A living room (or front porch, or rooftop, or gazebo, or...)
-A love for music, and..
-A desire to support touring artists
That's it.
