WILL YOU HOST A SHOW on MY MEDiCiNE TOUR?

I’m rebelling against the greedy ticket-fee industry that is exploiting our desires to connect in person by taking my new album Medicine straight into your homes and small businesses. Lyrics, stories, and community gathered in living rooms, yoga studios, galleries, etc.. No stage, no lights, just a raw, intimate exchange. Possible side effects: connection, release, and maybe a few tears. Inspired by our friends at Undertow! This unplugged tour will only happen if fans volunteer their spaces.

 

EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING A HOST : 

Your Space
Living rooms, shops, studios, yoga or community centers are perfect! Must also have a welcoming vibe, fit at least 35 people, be indoors and closed to the public. Please check in with any neighbors beforehand, we don’t want to upset anyone or have the cops called.

Day Of Show Schedule + Needs
5pm - List of ticket buyers' names will be emailed to you.
6pm - Lauren arrives to set up & warm up vocals in a private space.
7pm - Doors. As folks arrive, we will need your help checking them in.
8pm - Lauren and bandmate perform unplugged.
9pm - Social hour + merch will be sold.
10pm - Everyone leaves.

Additional Accommodations
- 2 chairs and a private space where Lauren and her bandmate can warm up without interruption.
- Promoting the show either on your socials, or by word of mouth to your community is such a big help.
- Soft lighting is preferred. Cozy, simple, ambient, sets the perfect tone. Think salt rock lamps, candles, string lights, dim overheads.

Tickets
All tickets are sold in advance online for €20 (or the equivalent in local currency). No resales, third-party sales, or guaranteed door tickets.

Seating
Chairs are welcome but not required. Floor seating is common.

Pets
We love them, but pets + performances don’t always mix. Best to have your fur baby hang in another room (or with a pal).

For You
- A handmade gift for being a part of the “Medicine Cabinet” and for making this tour possible!
- Lauren's endless gratitude!
- 5 free tickets for your closest friends for this special evening! (Please factor this 5 when confirming your capacity total.)
