House Concerts with Brooks Maguire | Book a Private Americana Concert | 2026 Homecoming Reunion Tour
What Is a House Concert?

The Most Intimate Live Music Experience There Is

A house concert is a small, invitation-only live music event hosted in a private home, church hall, backyard, or community space. There's no stage lighting, no cover charge, no bar noise — just an artist, an audience, and songs that have something to say.

Brooks Maguire has been performing house concerts for years, and they remain his favorite format. The intimacy changes everything — stories land differently when you're ten feet away, and songs carry more weight when the room is completely present.

This is a concert, not background entertainment. The music is the main event. Guests come to listen, to feel, and to be part of something that a stadium show can never offer.

Your Space

Living room, backyard, church hall, community space, or clubhouse. If it fits 25–80 people comfortably, it works.

Original Songs

Brooks performs original Americana from his five-album catalog — each song introduced with the story behind it.

Your Community

You invite the people — friends, family, neighbors, colleagues. 25–80 guests is the ideal range.

Donation-Based Entry

Guests attend free. A voluntary donation is collected at the end to support the music. No tickets. No barriers.

How It Works

Simple to Host.
Unforgettable to Attend.

Hosting a house concert is easier than most people expect. Here's the complete picture from first conversation to final applause.

1

Start the Conversation

Fill out the inquiry form below with your location, type of space, estimated guest count, and a general timeframe. Brooks will follow up personally to discuss the details and see if it's a good fit.

2

Confirm the Date & Details

Once the date is set, you'll receive the full Host Guide — everything you need to know about setup, seating, the donation collection, and how to prepare your space for an ideal listening environment.

3

Invite Your Guests

Invite 25–80 people who enjoy live music and will give it their full attention. Brooks can provide invitation language and RSVP support. Send the first invitation 4–6 weeks out, a reminder at 2 weeks, and a final note the week of the show.

4

Brooks Handles the Music

Brooks travels to the event at his own expense and handles the entire performance — set list, stories, pacing, and energy. All he needs from you is the space, the audience, and overnight accommodations (in your home or nearby lodging).

5

An Evening Everyone Remembers

The donation collection happens at the conclusion of the show. Guests give what they feel, and the evening closes with the kind of warmth that only happens when live music fills a room meant for it.

The Experience

What Your Guests
Will Walk Away With

  • Original Americana — Live and Up Close

    Songs drawn from Brooks' five-album catalog — Americana rooted in Gospel, Blues, Country, and Rock. Every song introduced with the story that inspired it.

  • Storytelling That Stays With You

    Brooks' quick wit and genuine warmth make the stories between songs as compelling as the music itself. Audiences laugh, reflect, and leave feeling they know the artist personally.

  • A Room That Becomes a Community

    Something happens when strangers gather around live music in someone's home. The shared experience builds connection in a way that traditional venues rarely achieve.

  • Nashville Craft in an Intimate Setting

    Brooks has recorded alongside A-list Nashville session musicians and veteran hit songwriters. That level of musical depth comes through in every performance — even in a living room.

  • 38 Years of Maui Soul

    Brooks' four decades on Maui — including years performing on historic Front Street in Lahaina before the 2023 fires — give his music a depth and rootedness that audiences feel immediately.
