In today’s world, the number of live music venues is shrinking, making it harder for artists to find places to perform and earn a living. House shows have become a vital lifeline for independent musicians, offering intimate spaces where they can connect with fans and generate meaningful income. By hosting a CouchConcert, you’re not just creating an event—you’re helping keep live music alive and giving artists the opportunities they need to thrive.
But hosting a show isn’t a big production. In fact, it’s easy, fun, and incredibly rewarding. You don’t need special equipment or event-planning skills—just a space for the artist to perform and a few friends to share the experience. Whether it’s in your living room, backyard, or garage, CouchConcerts helps you every step of the way to make it simple and stress-free.
Worried it’s too time-consuming or complicated? It’s not—it’s no harder than inviting friends over to watch a game. Concerned about having strangers in your home? You won’t—these are private events, and you’re completely in control of who’s invited.
Hosting a CouchConcert is a unique way to enjoy live music, create unforgettable moments, and make a real difference for artists. Check out our guide to getting started, and see just how easy it is to host your first show!
