House Concerts - Q & A

What exactly is a house concert?
A house concert is precisely what it says – a concert in your house!  Mythica will come to your house and put on an intimate performance in the comfort of your own home.

 

Why hold a house concert?

The house concert phenomenon is quickly gaining popularity in North America, and for good reason!  A house concert offers an intimate, serene setting where the audience can get to know the performers
on a personal level.  You are surrounded by your friends and family in a safe, comfortable setting that is appropriate for all ages, while avoiding the shenanigans and noisy atmosphere of a bar.  Best of all, house concerts make great parties, are incredibly fun, and you will gain the reputation of a fabulous host!

 

I would like to hold a house concert.  Who would I invite?

First you need to decide if you would like your house concert to be open to the public, or a private engagement (just for your family and friends).  Once you establish this, Mythica will work with you to help publicize your house concert to encourage people to attend.

 

I’m not sure if my house is big enough to hold a house concert.  How can I tell?

Usually house concerts are held in the largest room of the house, usually a living room, dining room or large den.  Furniture is moved around to accommodate seating for your guests,  and an area is cleared for the performers.

 

The best way to find out if your home is suitable for a Mythica performance is to do one of three things: 1) invite one of the bandmates to your house to assess the space (only applicable to northern Delaware residents); 2) send us digital pictures of the room(s) so we can assess how much space you have; or 3) send us the measurements (length and width) of the largest room in your house.
During the warmer months, and if weather permits, Mythica can perform on large decks and patios for audiences seated outside.  An overhang or tent must be supplied to shield the performers from the sun.  For smaller spaces, Mythica can perform an acoustic set as a three piece (with no drums or bass).  This is ideal if you want to host a quieter, folk-y concert. 

 

How much will it cost for Mythica to perform at my house?

We suggest a minimum donation of $10 per person who attends.  All proceeds would go to Mythica.  You can pay Mythica out of your own pocket if you wish, but we highly suggest you take donations from all attendees.

 

What about food?
Some house concerts ask all attendees to bring a potluck dish or beverage, while some hosts handle all the food themselves.  Do whatever works for you and your income.
