House Concerts

When I think back on my favorite performances, the smaller and more intimate the setting, the more meaningful they were.

"Ever considered having a concert in your living room?"

I am excited to take part in a growing movement of bringing music back down to the personal level. It is the most suitable for my style, and the most satisfying to me as an artist. So, what exactly is a house concert?

Description of a house concert:

  • usually held in your home or small private space
  • the host invites friends and family (usually 10-20 people) to the event
  • the musician plays for roughly 90 minutes, doing an un-amplified acoustic performance
  • the host usually collects a donation (typically $10-15) from each guest to be paid to the performer
  • occassionally guests will bring a "pot luck" and couple the concert with a nice dinner gathering

If you are at all interested in being a host, or discussing the idea in more detail, please contact me - I would love to discuss it with you. Just email me at benjamin@benjamincostello.com.
