Kevin would love to play a show at your place!

Don't see your city listed? Send us a submission anyway! 
We seriously consider all offers that fit into the routing and save the ones that don't for future dates.

A few things to consider…

1. LOCATION
In the past we’ve booked all kinds of spaces. It can be residential, commercial, community, or any other space where you can host a private gathering. Bonus points for being centrally located! The space should comfortably and safely hold a minimum of 25 people. Show us what you got!

There needs to be street parking, a parking garage, or public transportation nearby so guests can access your space easily. Before you offer to host a show, please check with your neighbors to confirm they’re ok with a bunch of extra people coming over. It would be a huge bummer if someone called the cops because of all the extra cars and people.

2. CAPACITY
Be realistic. This is the number of tickets we put on sale. Please keep in mind when determining your capacity, you get five free tickets for friends that won’t be included in the ticketed capacity. The capacity you tell us will be the number of tickets we put on sale. EXAMPLE: If we sell 50 tickets and you invite 5 guests, there will be 55 people at the show.

3. TICKET PRICE
Ticket price will be $25. Everyone must buy tickets in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door. There will be no reselling or third-party tickets sales. All tickets sales are direct to fans from Undertow. Limit 4 tickets per person. These shows usually sell out quickly and we want everyone to have a fair opportunity to buy tickets.

4. GUEST LIST
On show night we’ll provide the host with a list of everyone coming to the show. The host is primarily needed to check people off the list as they arrive. The host won’t have to handle any money since tickets are bought in advance. We ask guests to arrive between 7:15-7:45pm to check-in for 8pm shows.

5. FREE TICKETS FOR HOSTS
The host gets 5 additional free tickets for the show. If you have other friends beyond your 5 guests who want to come to the show you should direct them buy tickets online.

6. PROMOTING THE SHOW
Undertow Shows are promoted on Undertow’s websites, social media, mailing lists, and by word-of-mouth. We rely on hosts to help us spread the word on their local level. Social media posts are more than sufficient.

Please don’t post your home address. The show address only goes to guests after they purchase tickets. In addition to respecting your privacy, we need to keep the show locations private so random folks don’t show up and party-crash.

7. SOUND SYSTEM & LIGHTING
You don’t need a sound system. Kevin’s shows are totally acoustic.

You don’t need any special lighting. But it would be great if you had some kind of ambient lighting like a table lamp, string lights, or dimmable overhead lights to help create a cozy mood.

8. SEATING
You don’t need to provide seating for guests. If you have a bunch of chairs – great! But most shows are majority floor seating and we notify guests they should bring a cushion or pillow to sit on during the show.

9. OPENING ARTISTS
We don’t have openers at these shows. It keeps the premise simple and the show on-schedule if it’s just a one artist bill.

10. FRIENDLY PETS
We love dogs and cats, we really do! But an excitable pet running around during the show can be distracting for the guests and performers. If you have curious and friendly 4-legged family members, would you be ok with putting them in another part of the house or sending them to a friend’s house during the show?

How many people do you think you can host? Keep in mind when determining your capacity, you get five free tickets for friends that won't be included in the ticketed capacity. The capacity you tell us will be the number of tickets we put on sale. For EXAMPLE: If we sell 50 tickets and you invite 5 guests, there will be 55 people at the show.
Your space does not have to be ADA accessible to host, however it is a major bonus. If your space isn't fully ADA accessible, please let us know about the entrance. Front door, back door, steps, handrails, etc..?
If you are renting your home or space, do you have permission from your landlord to host this show?
Do you have permission from everyone who lives in your home or works at the space to host this show
We are still advocating for strong COVID precautions at Undertow Shows. Would you prefer guests to wear masks during the performance?
It's totally fine if you don't want guests to bring alcohol. We realize that with COVID concerns and/or zoning restrictions, that consuming may not be ideal for your situation. We're happy to pass on those parameters to guests. If you're OK with guests bringing beverages, this is what we usually tell them: "The host is allowing attendees to bring a few beers or a bottle of wine to enjoy during the show. Remember that this is a low-key intimate acoustic performance, not a party. Take all trash with you when you leave."
If you're confirmed as the host, can we tag you in our social media promotional posts for the tour?
If you're ok with us tagging you in social media posts, please supply your handles AND their corresponding platforms.
Let us know where guests should park (street parking, nearby lot or garage parking, public transit stops, etc)
Let us know where the performer should park (drive way, reserved space, street parking, etc)
Let us know what your seating situation is: chairs for everyone, a few chairs, couches, mostly floor seating, etc. If it's mostly floor seating we'll let guests know to bring a pillow or cushion to sit on during the show.
Anything else you want us to know?
