House Concerts/Village Hall shows the #1 priority

       House Concerts and Village Hall shows are my #1 priority over the coming months. I’m told we are in a recession, and people are staying in, or not traveling to Europe during this time. I have a theory. I think this will actually be good for shows over the summer…….particularly in the UK, but also in the US. There will simply be more people in town, and looking for a relatively cheap/fun night out.
      What better place to have fun then in your home, or local village hall?!
     As a hard-core touring artist, over the past few years i’ve grown to LOVE doing house concerts. You don’t have to deal with clubs, and it is sort of like being a human jukebox. One friend/fan will basically put you and your music in front of their friends, family, and neighbors……..and expose them to your music. Just like a human cd player!
      Some of my best shows have been in someone’s living room……….60 or 70 people crammed so tight they can hardly move……people sitting indian style on the floor…….quietly taking the music in……….heaven.
      Village halls I find incredible, too. They are like house concerts, but taken to the next level……….150 to 200 people, and again, a fan/friend, or collection of fans/friends in the village will promote the show, and get everyone out. I’ve had some tremendous times at these.
      It is grassroots promotion in it’s purest form.
      My fans/friends have literally supported me over the past few years with these shows. I’m am thankful for them.
     If you would like to host a house concert, or village hall show, then please get in touch with me. I have the next 3 and a half weeks where I am mostly sitting in front of the computer booking the summer, the 50 States in 50 Days tour, and even into the winter—think the UK/Ireland/Europe tour starting on Dec. 26th in France—village halls would work perfectly for that tour.
     So, just email me at kevinmontgomery @yahoo.com, and we can sort out the details. If you have emailed me in the past few months about a show……please retry……I had an email failure a few weeks ago, and I fear some of the emails have fallen through the cracks.
