I'm in the North/East (Pennsylvania) and the "market" for house concerts is very sparse compared to the rest of the country. I have tried hosting for some nationally touring artists (though not big names by any means) in order to promote the idea of house concerts to people and have been mostly disappointed by the number of people willing to come out. I do think this area is behind on this movement but I'm hopeful it will slowly turn around as artist continue to be persistent.

There are a few friends I have who are interested in hosting a concert for me next year, so my hope is to help them make it great to inspire others to host their own as well. Since I can't tour too far outside of my local area right now (not a full-time musician), I have to figure out a way to make it work where I am.

If anyone else has had better luck on the East Coast, I'd love to hear your ideas!
