All About House Concerts
Reposted from 6-26-07. Yes, this article was so good the first time around that it's worth sharing again!
House concerts have become quite the rage for indie artists looking to increase their income. What's so great about it? Imagine playing in an intimate setting where people really want to hear you and experience your music. Not some noisy bar laden with loud drunks.
I have put together a list of links that you will find useful in your quest to learn more about this cool way to build your fanbase, sell more CDs and earn more $.

HouseConcerts.com - great list of venues across the U.S. to check out

Article: Acoustic Music, Live From the Living Room - great article!
