House Concert Host ~ Coaching

40


40 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Apr 01, 2017

With the help and support of family and friends, I have hosted dozens of house concerts (living room concerts) since the mid-nineties. House concerts are a magical way to bring music to people. Touring artists get the chance to play to a listening audience, in your living room, on a night when they might otherwise be stuck in a motel room (costing them money!). Instead, you gather up some friends and family and pass the proverbial hat. An artist who gets to play their music to a captive audience, is a very happy artist. If you can provide a bed and a couple of meals, even better! If this sounds appealing to you, please be in touch. We can spend some time talking about how this could happen in your home. :) We'll talk about:
- best physical flow of the event... in *your* space
- how you can increase the value of this experience for the artist, for the people attending... and for you!
- ideas on how to promote your concert to friends and family (without guilting them into coming!)
- how social media can support you in getting the word out
- tips and tools to make your house concert run smoothly

Training & Qualifications


Since 1996, we have hosted dozens of house concerts. Coupled with my experience in the music industry, as a manager, producer, festival and conference organizer and music buyer, my insights into what makes a great house concert might help you to consider hosting your own living room musical magic.

Availability & Preferences


I am available most any time for this kind of chat. Daytimes/Weekdays are best for me.
Face-to-face and in your home is best! But through Skype might work, too.
Please reach out and we'll work something out.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I had a fantastic experience with Nicole! She provided me with many valuable tips and ideas based on her industry expertise and years of experience as... a music manager. She has a naturally warm disposition and provided a professional, yet relaxed atmosphere for our call. I got the sense that she genuinely cares and wants me to succeed in my project, which I really appreciate. She was honest about the challenges I would face with my project timeline, but also emphasized that with the skillful use of the right tools, it would be very possible to reach my goal. I was also pleasantly surprised at how thorough she was in reviewing my online material prior to our call. I will likely book sessions with Nicole going forward and highly recommend working with her! show more

About nicole colbeck

Mom of three wonderful "children" (all grown and theoretically moved out), Grandmaman to a vibrant little creature who's running us off our feet (yay! ), I am also a person who keeps being amazed at h...ow much there is to learn yet. By day, I am a creative coach and music manager, and by night - a house concert and silent book club host, a crocheter, a lover of books, music and coffee. From our home in the urban west end of the city to our off-grid, solar-powered cottage, we live a life that is never static... never boring. It means a lot to me to have the opportunity to shift my thinking when it comes to economy, gifting, sharing and exchanging. Please... reach out to me. From my work website: "Nicole Colbeck has honed her skills through the various events and management opportunities on her path since 1996. From promotion to production, from planning to management, all aspects of events and career management have been part of the experience that goes into what little acorn music management is today. little acorn creative coaching began its journey in November of 2010. With a focus on artist management partnerships, Nicole also consults with artists on an occasional basis. Whether working with artists on individual projects or strategizing with them through long term career plans, Nicole's insights are both fresh and seasoned, offering a perfect blend of irreverence and respect for what's gone before." Since 2020, creative coaching and big picture visioning with musicians and other creative entrepreneurs has been my bliss. In addition to all this, my family and I have hosted dozens of house concerts in our living room. These have allowed us to open our doors to international touring artists, supporting live music and the creators who make it happen; and it has permitted us to bring that music to people through an intimate, magical experience.show more
