Have Dan Holmes perform in your home!

Dan Holmes At The Piano

As some of you know, Dan Holmes gives in-home concerts. Depending on your home, Dan will either perform a solo show or a duo show. House concerts create a wonderful opportunity for music fans to experience artists in a way they never dreamed of. For less than you'd pay for a movie, you and your friends can organize personal concerts you'll remember for a lifetime.

 

 

F.A.Q.
________________________________________________________
Q: What Is A House Concert?

A: Most often, a house concert is a small (solo/duo) act performing in the living room of a house, for two 45 minute sets, compensated by donations of $10-20 per guest, food, and sometimes, a place to sleep for the night. These events are semi-private, mostly promoted by the host and artist through emails and personal invitations.

Q: How Many People Need To Come To My House Concert?

A: Usually, a house concert works best for groups between 15 to 50 people. To maintain a show atmosphere, Dan tries to perform to no fewer than 15 people.

Q: When Should We Schedule Our Concert?

A: Dan is always booked a couple of months in advance. But what time of day is up to you! A Sunday brunch show? A Thursday evening get together? A Saturday night performance? Please see his schedule to check a date, but also send him an email. Sometimes, other shows will have a start time which allows him to perform multiple shows per day.
________________________________________________________
Q: Why Wouldn't We Just Go To A Club To See Dan?

A: Nothing is more personal than a house concert. There are no distractions from the performance. Plus, there will be a break to mingle and ask any questions about songwriting and/or performing. This is something which very rarely happens in a club setting.

Q: What Do I Need To Provide?

A: All that's needed is your living room, some folding chairs, some snacks and a few dozen of your friends kicking in a donation. Dan will bring a minimal keyboard/mic setup, unless you have a piano he may use.

Q: How Does The Money Work?

A: Donations of $10-20 per guest go directly to Dan Holmes. This usually works best if you use an R.S.V.P. That way, if within a couple of weeks out, it doesn't look like many people are able to show for a concert, there would be time to reschedule.
________________________________________________________
Q: Does This Cost Me Anything?

A: Only your time, and maybe some food. This is an easy way to entertain friends, support live music, and do something different and fun. No smokey bars, no loud resturants, no large concert halls miles away from the artist. This is the most personal and intimate show you will be able to see for opening your home to Dan Holmes.
