In many cases, it’s a much more pleasant situation for both performer and audience. House concerts provide an intimate setting in which the music is the main event and beer sales aren’t the main determinant of success. A performer like me who doesn’t draw big crowds too often (“That’s months away,” as Martin Mull once said) has a hard time making a tour happen when the venues are clubs that need a hundred or more people to make their nut.
House concerts often include potluck dinners and other pleasant social interactions. Everybody wins!

This is a great idea! Sorry, but I don’t have the money to bring you all the way to Sweden. Although pickled herring, a little vodka and a shot of David Gans might be just what midsummer needs.
