October 3-7 | Starting at $500Hosting a Roman Samuels House Concert
Thank you for your interest in hosting a house concert. These evenings are some of the most special performances I play. Instead of a noisy bar or crowded venue, house concerts create a small, focused environment where people can truly listen to the songs and connect with the music.
If you enjoy bringing thoughtful people together and creating memorable evenings in your home, hosting a house concert may be a wonderful fit.
Below is a simple guide that explains how the evening works and what hosting involves.
The goal is to keep everything easy, relaxed, and meaningful for everyone involved.
What is a House Concert?
A house concert is an intimate live performance hosted in someone’s living room, backyard, or similar gathering space.
Typically, 20–50 guests are invited for a listening-style concert. Everyone has a seat, the room is quiet during the performance, and the focus is entirely on the music.
Guests arrive, mingle for a short time, and then settle in for an acoustic set lasting about an hour to ninety minutes.
Afterward, everyone has a chance to talk, connect, and enjoy the rest of the evening together.
This is not a “backyard party with music”.
This is a quiet, intimate, private concert in your space for your friends and family.

The Host’s Role
As host, you have the most important role: gather a great group of people.
Think of yourself as the curator of the audience. Invite friends, neighbors, colleagues, or anyone in your circle who appreciates live music and a relaxed, thoughtful evening.
A typical house concert works best with about 20 to 40 guests, though some homes can comfortably hold up to 50.
Because a few people will inevitably cancel, hosts often invite slightly more guests than the room capacity.
The only real requirement is that everyone attending has a place to sit during the performance.
Chairs, couches, stools, and floor cushions all work perfectly.
The room should feel like a comfortable living room theater.
