How I Made 25k On Month House Concert Tour And How You Can Too
![Jese Leos](https://bookshelfspot.com/author/bradley-dixon.jpg)
House concerts are a unique and intimate way for musicians to connect with their fans while earning a substantial income. In this article, I will share my personal experience of how I made $25,000 in just one month through a successful house concert tour, and how you can do the same.
What is a House Concert Tour?
A house concert tour involves performing shows in private residences instead of traditional venues like clubs or theaters. Hosts invite their friends, family, and neighbors to enjoy an exclusive concert experience in the comfort of their own homes. It provides a cozy ambiance where both the artist and audience can connect on a deeper level.

Why House Concerts Are Lucrative
House concerts offer several advantages compared to traditional gigs. Firstly, they eliminate the need for a middleman or booking agent, allowing artists to have direct communication with their fans. This leads to a stronger fanbase and more opportunities for future tours and album releases.
Secondly, house concerts often result in higher earning potential. While traditional venues may take a cut from ticket sales or have complex revenue-sharing arrangements, house concerts offer a more straightforward model. Hosts usually request a suggested donation from attendees, and the majority of the donations go directly to the artist. With a dedicated fanbase, these donations can quickly add up and become a significant income stream.
Building Your House Concert Tour
The success of a house concert tour lies in efficient planning and audience engagement. Here are some key steps to help you get started:
1. Identify Your Target Cities
Research cities or regions where you have a significant fanbase or followers. Look for areas with a rich music scene and a strong community of potential hosts. Utilize social media platforms, mailing lists, and online analytics to gather data and identify the most promising locations.
2. Connect with Your Fans
Reach out to your existing fanbase and inform them about your upcoming house concert tour. Encourage them to become hosts or help spread the word about your shows. Engage with your fans regularly through social media, email newsletters, and exclusive content to maintain their interest and support.
3. Find Reliable Hosts
Seek trustworthy individuals who are willing to open their homes for your concerts. Ensure proper communication to set expectations, discuss logistics, and agree on a suggested donation amount. Collaborate with your hosts to make each concert unique and memorable for attendees.
4. Plan Your Setlist
Craft a diverse and engaging setlist that appeals to your target audience. Include original songs, popular covers, and even personalized requests from your fans. Tailoring the performance to the preferences of your audience ensures an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
5. Promote Your Tour
Utilize various digital marketing strategies to promote your house concert tour. Create eye-catching posters and social media graphics, email your fanbase, collaborate with local influencers or bloggers, and consider running targeted online ads. Leverage every opportunity to expand your reach and attract new attendees.
My Experience and Success Story
Last year, I embarked on my very first house concert tour, planning it meticulously using the steps mentioned above. With a dedicated team and strong fan engagement, our tour quickly gained momentum. We were able to secure hosts in 10 cities across the country and hold a total of 15 concerts in just one month.
The energy and connection I felt during these shows were unparalleled. The intimate setting made it easier to interact with my fans, and the gratitude they expressed through generous donations was overwhelming. By the end of the tour, our total earnings reached a staggering $25,000.
This experience not only solidified my passion for house concerts but also changed my perspective on the music industry. It allowed me to build a loyal fanbase, establish meaningful connections, and significantly boost my income as an independent artist.
You Can Too!
If you're an aspiring musician looking to make a name for yourself while earning a substantial income, consider embarking on a house concert tour. With careful planning, fan engagement, and an unforgettable performance, you can replicate my success and even exceed it.
House concerts offer an extraordinary platform to connect intimately with your fans, create lifelong memories, and establish a sustainable music career. Dive into the world of house concerts, and let your talents shine brightly while enjoying financial success along the way.
House concert tours are a lucrative and rewarding option for musicians seeking financial success and a deeper connection with their fans.

But more than just giving procedural suggestions, Curtis goes deeper, thoroughly explaining the psychology and interpersonal dynamics behind her tremendously successful house concert touring method. You won’t just come away with a knowledge of what works, you’ll understand why it works.
Curtis says: “My decision several years ago to abandon traditional club touring in favor of house concerts has made my career as an artist better on every measurable level. I sell more albums and merch, generate more income, receive more signups to my email list, and most importantly, I make stronger, deeper connections with the people listening to my music. With this book, I’m confident that you can open the door to a whole new world of deeply enriching performance experiences, whether you’re a veteran artist or a complete rookie to touring.”
RAVES:
“Shannon Curtis captures in this book the essence of what it means to be an independent musician: 100% control of your career and 100% of the benefits. Curtis’s alternative model for touring cuts out the middleman, and puts the power (and money) back in the hands of the artists. She’s a true entrepreneur, and an inspiration for any artist looking to become successful on their own terms.” – Patti Silverman, SF Music Tech
"I just wanted to thank you. I have been expanding my booking schedule and using house shows more frequently and leaning heavily on your model, and it is literally changing my life. I am making more money, and finding myself more fulfilled and encouraged than ever before while building a better fan base than ever before. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you." – Bradford Loomis, independent artist, Seattle
