House Concerts with Shannon Curtis

Behind Their Music

Shannon Curtis writes songs and stories, and performs them as a dynamic one-woman-and-keyboard show. She makes records with her husband, producer Jamie Hill, with a cinematic artpop sound.
And the two of them set out every year to deliver Shannon�s songs to audiences across the continent, wrapped up in intimate experiences with a powerfully punk aesthetic. They�re currently in the midst of their 6th annual house concert tour, this year stopping in 70 backyards and living rooms all over North America. Each show is a community-driven effort, hosted by someone who supports the music Shannon and Jamie make, for the host�s local community of friends and neighbors. The astonishing success of the house concert model they invented (and continue to perfect with each tour) led them to write a book about it � No Booker, No Bouncer, No Bartender: How I Made $25,000 on a 2-Month House Concert Tour (And How You Can Too) � which debuted at #1 on Amazon�s Music Business Bestsellers List in 2014. Shannon and Jamie are passionate about teaching their model to other artists, so that those artists can develop and grow their own career-sustaining communities of supporters.
