Artists First, Always
Every dollar of every donation
Our mission is to create a nationwide network of house concert hosts, expanding performance opportunities for artists while ensuring that more money flows directly into their hands.
We don’t charge musicians or hosts anything to use our platform, and 100% of fan donations go straight to the musicians.
We charge guests a small, transparent platform fee and contribute all profits from platform fees to charity.
CouchConcerts is committed to fairness, transparency, and maximizing the financial support for artists—music for good, not greed.
What is a CouchConcert?
A CouchConcert is a private house show hosted by a fan at their home. Typically, the host invites 20-30 friends who each may donate to support the artist.
Empowering Artists
We aim to help artists earn more by making house shows mainstream. Just as Airbnb connects people with homes to rent, CouchConcerts connects talented artists with fans eager to host private concerts.
Directly Support Your Favorite Artists
Attending a CouchConcert is not just about enjoying great music; it’s about supporting the artists you love. Donations go directly to the performers, helping them continue creating the music you enjoy. By attending these intimate shows, you play a crucial role in sustaining independent musicians' careers, giving them the financial support they need to thrive.
At CouchConcerts, we prioritize financial transparency. There are no fees for artist to use the platform. Guests contribute a donation of typically $20 to attend a show., This goes directly to the artist after the show. Additionally artists keep all tips and proceeds from merchandise sales during the show. To cover operational costs, we charge guests a small platform fee.
Create More Places For Artists to Play
Traditional venues are dwindling. However, homes, apartments, and shared spaces worldwide are plentiful. Artists need more places to perform and make a living; CouchConcerts opens up these new possibilities.
Support Live Music in Your Community
Building a network of hosts is key to our mission. Hosting a CouchConcert is a fantastic, simple way to support live music in your community. Host an event for your friends this month, and you’ll be hooked on the experience!
