Fans Can Be Hosts Too

Imagine this. You love live music. Therefore, you go to all the local concerts, gigs, and music festivals. You have been keeping an eye on a talented local band or musician you’ve seen perform from time to time. You hear live music and it makes you smile on the inside…  🙂   Yes, we are talking to you! Read on, I’ll tell you how to become part of the show in your city.

One Way to Enjoy the Show

If you really love live music, you would have signed-up as a fan on youbloomConnect already. In that case, you can request an artist to perform in a city near you and tell your friends to do the same. If enough other people start requesting the same artist, consequently the CityRep will reach out to the artist to book a show. Once a show is announced, you buy tickets and show up ready for uninterrupted, unforgettable live music. There’s two sides to every story though.

Host Your Very Own Gig

As a fan on youbloomConnect, you can sign-up as a host and bring the show to you. When you sign up to host and your spot gets chosen, we’ll have a gift for you. Because you’re basically VIP in our eyes, every host automatically receives four tickets to invite their very own guest list. You and four (4) friends will have front row seats to the show in your very own space. Think backyards overlooking the hills, beachside cafes, downtown rooftops, a co-working space, on a boat, or a wine bar. The possibilities are endless. If you have a space that you and a few friends could have a pretty cool concert, we’d love you to become a host. 

Sit Back and Enjoy

Music is meant to be experienced with friends, so share your space as a host, this way you can actually sit back and enjoy the show. No worries, certainly you can trust youbloom will take care of the rest. By becoming a host with youbloomConnect, you will really be able to make a connection with the artists and all the other music fans who show up. As a result of your hospitality, the artists will be super appreciative and ready to put on a show for you and your friends.

It Takes a Village

Next time you are out on the town listening to music with your friends and you think to yourself: ‘it would be really cool to have a concert at my place one day.’ Know that you can! youbloom puts on shows around the world bringing together people who love live music and people who make up “The Global Music Village”.

Get Matched With the Gig of Your Life!

Now-a-days we’ve been hearing an awful lot about all these dating apps: you go through a bunch of various people, you swipe right on the ones you like and hope to get matched with the love of your life. But what happens if we take this idea and put it in the context of the music world? Make sure to keep reading to find out.

The Perfect Match

Here at youbloom, we call this concept “Artist Matching” and it works pretty much the same way. Well, minus the swiping part. youbloom designed it specifically for artists, bands, and talented people, to make sure you get a perfectly tailored gig every time!

Creating The Global Music Village

It might sound complicated, but it’s really not. We do most of the work for you! Once you’ve signed-up as an artist with youbloomConnect, we search the youbloomConnect database to find artists similar to you. At this point, we consider the music genre, location, musical goals, etc. After the initial due diligence, you’ll be notified of the person or band we think you’d match well with.

Now For the Fun Part

Let’s just say both of you accept the match… this is where all the fun begins! In a nutshell, you promote the band you matched with and vice versa. Then, you perform together. Perhaps, you’d work together. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll hit the road for tour together and most importantly you might make a friend for life! Helps you build a music network and co-market with fellow artists around the world. Not only will you grow your fan base, but there’s a good chance you’ll make connections within the music industry along the way.  It will create countless opportunities for you and your band to play your music, tour and get paid!
