Getting Started: Hosting or Working House Concerts

Alternative jazz venues come in all shapes and sizes and with a growing trend in house concerts, Jazz Near You created this website to help home concert and salon presenters generate greater turnouts, help musicians connect with house concert presenters, and offer guidance to anyone with an interest in hosting a home concert: from preparation to finding & booking a band.
