Artists admire you for your many years of supporting them. Having hosted many house concerts, my experiences covered the gamut of possibilities and outcomes. Nothing is predictable. But that was in Brooklyn, and that location presented too many minuses with regards to garnering audiences. Regardless, everyone I hosted was fantastic. I loved it all. Now that I live in Helena, Montana, I think getting an audience may be more possible - and the same for you in Portland. Here are key elements I consider. * Assure the artist(s) you will make every effort to fill the house, but don't make promises or offer a financial guarantee - unless you are prepared to pay it. * Offer artists easy things like parking, housing, and meals as a value incentive. * Urge the artists to tap into their own network to help with PR. Even artists from far away have family and friends who likely know someone who knows someone. * Two acts may widen the interest. Gender, age, style, etc. The combinations are endless. Of course a single act with a good following is enough. * Encourage each artist to know about the other artist(s), and ask them to include the other act in their PR, etc. (I hate to think of the times an artist didn't, and with his/her friends sat outside, completely ignoring the other act and depleting the totality of the audience vibe. It felt like separate occasions). * One of the artists should have an extant body of work that can be referenced on the Web and act as an initial hook for your PR. * Make the door a "Suggested Donation" and leave it near the entrance. That way no one feels excluded due to finances or an unwillingness to pay for artists unknown to them in advance. I think $10 is the most you can expect, and if one artist genuinely is a headliner, they get the door since they are the draw. * Have a merchandise table, and staff it with a friend so the artists are free to chat and give out autographs. Many touring artists travel with a companion who usually does this but give them a rest. They are a guest in your home. * Food and drink are nice, and if finances are constrained you can suggest a separate donation on the honor system at the serving table. * Have some seating for those who cannot stand or sit on the floor. * Modest amplification and microphones are usually helpful. They solve acoustic issues in a crooked space plus some artists need the security blanket-barrier of a microphone between them and the audience. It also simplifies adding in CD tracks, added instruments with variable dynamics, etc. Of course, it can be done without any electronics. It will have a different vibe -- and it's all good. BTW, if anyone is touring and has gigs at UM-Missoula and MSU-Bozeman, you'll have to be pass through Helena. Schedule a house concert. When I moved here, I bought a Kurzweil SP4-8 keyboard that's waiting for you to use. Wish I could play it! Regards to all. I do try to keep up with your work and think of you often.

That prompted openly gay LBC radio host IAIN DALE to invite DAVID VIRTUE of the independent Anglican website "Virtue Online" to discuss the issues. However, it became clear early on that Dale would not make it easy for Virtue. ?======================== * ======================= "This Way Out" is a U.S. tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit under the corporate name of OVERNIGHT PRODUCTIONS (INC.), and is supported by the Kicking Assets Fund of the Tides Foundation, the Yavanna Foundation, a bequest from the estate of Christopher David Trentham, and donations from our listener-supporters.
