Some friends of mine just got back from San Francisco with loads of cash from playing a private gig at someone’s house. I guess it makes a lot of sense given Air BNB and all of the other DIY services available. Why not gigs ? Amazingly enough people love the intimacy of seeing some great music at someones house. And people , especially fans will love to host you. So, come down from the clouds. Join the modern DIY revolution and book a show at someone’s house. It can even turn into a tour if you network properly.
