Looking for places to do living room shows!
🕑 Added 2018-04-10 19:05:30 +0000 UTC Host a living room show in your living room!WELCOME ONE, WELCOME ALL. I’m looking for people to host living room shows in their homes this coming June 23rd - July 3rd!
What does a house show look like? It’s one hour of live acoustic music, hosted in your living room! Imagine people sitting on couches, leaned up against walls, sitting criss cross apple sauce on the floor. People start arriving at 7, music starts at 7:30, ends at 8:30, then I hang out and answer questions and meet people until around 10 when we start packing everything up. It’s a super special evening and I’m so looking forward to doing a west coast run this June!
What do I need to host a living room show?
1)You need to be over eighteen (or have parents who are on board),
2) have a living room that can hold 35 people (trust me, your space can hold a lot more people than you think, imagine people covering the whole floor like in this living room where we fit fifty) Ideally, I’d like to find a home in every city that could fit fifty!
3) be comfortable having strangers in your home. Don’t worry, we will never post your address publicly. People will be told a general part of town the show will take place in, only once they purchase tickets will people be told your address. I’ve played over 50 living room shows and always had a lovely time with guests! People are generally very respectful and gentle!
4) live within 20 minutes of: Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, or Pheonix. and be available to host a show between june 23rd-july 3rd. (we’ll probably have to pick the date for you based on our routing but still give us an email if you have most of those dates free, just let me know!)
How do tickets work? Am I responsible for that?
tickets are sold to the public online in advance of the show through my merch site! You can see my last listing here. You are not responsible for any of it!
How do I apply to host a living room show?
Email me at tessaviolethouseshow (at) gmail with the city your home is in as the subject line. then answer these questions:
how many people can your living room hold? (hoping to find people who can fit 50 but please email me if you can fit 35 or more!)
what’s your availability between june 23rd and july 3rd?
any questions you might have for me~
I can’t host a show, but I want to come to one. Tell me how! Will you be playing new music? When does your new record come out? How can I support you in other ways?
tickets will go on sale soon, by May! My record comes out the illusive ~S O O N~, but yes, before this tour! I will be playing new songs and my old favorites of course <3. DUDE you're already supporting me on Patreon, come on now. I’ll be releasing a B-sides version of Halloway this month to say goodbye to this era, and to help raise money for the release of the new record. <3 I may even put up a song or two from the new record early leading up to the release so thanks again for sticking around! ;)

I've been told I need to keep those two weeks open for THINGS so this house show stint is on hold but I'll let you know if/when I get updates!

Bah humbug.... let me know when you are on the East Coast doing living room shows. I have a studio set up for you near Philly at my house and I can easily get 50 people
