Interested in hosting a house show with Derek Webb (click here to skip to the form)?

1. Please read all the details below to know how it works to host.
2. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page.
3. Sit tight and we’ll reach out when we’re routing through your area. (Filling out the form does not guarantee a house show, but is a way for us to start the process.)

Submit your info below and let us know about your space & location. We've worked hard to make hosting a house show fun & easy. There is NO COST to host. We are looking for spaces that can hold around 35-50+ folks (a big living room or basement, art gallery, photography studio, loft space, yoga studio, church, etc). Sorry, we can’t do outdoor house shows.

MARKETING THE SHOW:

We need your help connecting with your local community! Once your show is confirmed, a member of Derek’s team will reach out to discuss how you can support the marketing efforts. While Derek’s team actively promotes every show, we rely on hosts like you to collaborate with us in spreading the word to existing Derek fans in your area.

We will provide you with everything you need (photos, marketing materials, ticket links, Facebook events, and more) to help get the word out to your friends. Social media is an effective and great way to spread the word. Sending out personal text messages and emails is greatly effective too.

TICKETS:
All tickets are sold in advance, typically for $20-25. Your name & address will never be public. Ticket buyers will only receive the house show address after purchasing their ticket(s). No tickets will be sold at the door. As the host, everyone in your household will get in for free. Everyone else will be directed to Derek’s website to purchase tickets.

Derek will arrive 1 hour before showtime. Expect ticket holders to begin arriving 30 minutes before showtime.

FOR THE GUESTS:
Consider rearranging furniture to maximize the space. Though it isn’t required, you may choose to get some extra chairs for the night, whether from friends or rentals. It’s also totally fine (and certainly easier) to have people sit on the floor, which can sometimes make room for an extra 10-15 people. This is entirely up to you.  

Refreshments for guests are NOT required but are always welcomed. Some people choose and enjoy providing an array of appetizers, wine/beer, and small snacks.  

ALCOHOL POLICY:
Typically, house shows are BYOB (our message to guests: “You are allowed to bring a few beers or a bottle of wine to enjoy at the show. Please be responsible with both your consuming of alcohol and the disposing of waste after the show."). If you prefer people not to bring alcohol, no worries, just let us know when confirming your show. 

If you have pets, please prepare to keep them in an area of the house where they won’t disturb the guests or disrupt the show. 

FOR DEREK:
Derek’s house shows are played without amplification. Derek will need a small space for a music stand & guitar stand (both of which he'll bring) and to stand for the performance. Think ahead of time about a good spot for Derek to perform to accommodate the most people and provide the best viewing & listening experience for everyone.

Please decide upon a designated 'green room' somewhere in your space. Whether it’s a guest room or a bonus room, Derek would like a private space to prepare before the show and spend a few minutes after. If possible, Derek would appreciate a few bottles of water in the 'green room.'

What’s a show without merch? Please set aside an area on a table for Derek to have his merchandise items for sale during the evening. Derek will set up the merchandise before the doors open and the table runs on the honor system.

AFTER THE SHOW:
Once the show is over, Derek will typically go back to the 'green room' for a few minutes to rest before coming back out to pack up and greet whoever is still around. This time will need to be kept to a maximum of 30 minutes in order to be respectful of Derek’s time as well as your own. This will allow your house to be clear by approximately 45-60 minutes after the end of the show.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.
