House Concert .live

Pre-launch field test

The best music venue in town is somebody's home.

We built a platform for house concerts — the hosts who open up their homes, the musicians who play to thirty people, and the fans who'd rather be there than in an arena. It works. Now we need people to break it before everyone else arrives.

Two minutes. Pick the track that fits you.

Three tracks. Choose the one you'd actually use.

Track 1
Venue host

You have the room and a bit of nerve.

  • A public page for your venue, and a printable QR code for the door.
  • Shows with RSVP caps and party sizes — because "two" isn't one seat — and a waitlist that fills itself when someone drops.
  • Door check-in from your phone on show night, walk-ins included, with a running headcount.
  • Write one announcement; it goes out as email and text together, with the RSVP link already in it.
  • See who opened it, who's coming, and who actually turned up.
  • Add a co-host who can run shows but can't touch your venue settings.
  • Browse musicians by genre and availability, then send a booking inquiry.

Track 2
Musician

You tour on couches, goodwill, and a merch table.

  • A profile with your bio, genres, and set lists you can reorder by dragging.
  • An availability calendar with recurring patterns — "most Saturdays" — not one date at a time.
  • Booking inquiries from venues, in a thread that stays open after you say yes, so you can sort out load-in and the spare room.
  • A tip jar on your public profile — Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, with a suggested amount if you want one. People who couldn't make it can still chip in, and there's a QR code for the merch table.
  • Links to wherever you actually sell — Bandcamp, Etsy, your own shop. We don't take a cut, because we don't handle the money.
  • Private merch counts before and after the show, so you know what shifted on the night.
  • A routing map: find venues along the drive and ask them all in one go.

Track 3
Fan

You'd rather hear music in a room with thirty people.

  • Scan the QR at the door and you're on that venue's list.
  • Email or text, your choice — per venue. Not one setting for everything.
  • RSVP with your party size. When a show is full the waitlist is real, and it tells you where you stand.
  • Follow the musicians you discover, and hear when they're playing nearby.
  • One tap to leave, from any message. No hard feelings, no dark patterns.

It writes the part nobody wants to write

The booking email to a musician you've never met. The show announcement. Your artist bio. The thank-you afterwards. The app drafts them from what it already knows — the real show, the real dates, the voice you've set for your venue — and you edit from there.

  • Off until you switch it on. If you'd rather no machine went near your words, do nothing — that's the default, and the feature stays out of your way.
  • Built in. No AI account, no second subscription, no copying prompts between browser tabs.
  • Free during the beta, with a monthly allowance so nobody's bill — yours or ours — can run away. What happens after the beta is a decision we haven't made yet, and we'll tell you before we make it.
  • From the first approach to a musician right through to the run-of-show script for the night itself.
  • Nothing sends without you. Every draft is yours to rewrite first — read it, change it, make it yours.
  • Arriving during this field test. Testers see it before anyone else, which also means you'll be the ones who tell us where it writes rubbish.

What being a tester actually involves

  • TimeAbout half an hour, on your own phone or laptop, whenever suits you.
  • The jobUse it like it's yours and tell us where it breaks. Confusing beats broken — we want to hear both.
  • ExpectRough edges. You're early, and that's the point. We'd rather you find them than a stranger does.
  • CostNothing. No card, no commitment, and you can stop whenever.

If any of that sounded like your Saturday night, put your name in.
