The COVID-19 outbreak sees global citizens self-isolating or quarantined by their governments for the safety of everyone. Schools, offices, and work sites around the globe have been emptied and people told to stay home. Museums, sporting events, concerts, restaurants, gyms, and more are all following suit. In an effort to help alieviate the boredom, and to help musicians around the world financially survive what could be weeks or months of no public gigs or concerts, Houseband.ca is born.
Musicians get the opportunity to work from home and share their craft and you, the audience, gets to continue to see your favourite artists perform while supporting their livlihood.
Pricing and fees are transparent are fair while operating costs are kept as low as possible. Artists are able to provide paid, free, and pay-what-you-want shows.
The first step for all users is to sign-up for a site account. If you intend to perform, then please make sure you hit the checkbox denoting that you're an artist and then you'll be able to access the Artist Profile and Show Creator links.
Getting bored of Netflix already and looking to see some live music transmitted livingroom-to-livingroom? Your ticket helps support the artists you love during the COVID-19 isolations that are covering the planet. Join today!
Note: The below shows are just for my testing (though you can have a look - payments are set to the test processor so it can't charge you). Houseband needs artists, so watch this space for real shows soon!
