With Sound City festival postponed until September 25-27th, Guest House is a subscription streaming service featuring many of the festival artists live from their homes during the COVID-19 lockdown.  Guest House is the only service directing subscription revenue directly to artists whose performance income has been cut off by the shutdown of the live music sector across the world. 

Festival MD Becky Ayres said: “The idea for Guest House came as a response to the awful situation we find ourselves in. We hope it will allow bands to maintain desperately needed income, as well as encouraging fans to get even closer to the artists they love and continue to support them where possible at this unprecedented moment in time.”

Sound City shared this message on social media this morning: 

The struggle is real but the message of Guest House is simple; we want to support artists no matter where they are or what they are doing. A place where we can enjoy, discover and give back to the artists who excite us in one way or another. We are asking you to give up £4.99 of your hard-earned cash every month in order to support the artists we bring to you via Guest House.

This little amount of cash could make a huge difference. Compared to your Apple Music’s & Spotify’s whereby only a tiny amount of money goes directly to the artist. Guest House’s culture is that there are no blank space, hidden algorithms or crazy micropayment systems in place. The money you pay for subscriptions is equally divided each month to the artists who have performed on Guest House that month. Furthermore, all net revenue made via donations in the performance segment goes directly to the artist. 

This is not the only transaction. All the while, artists can connect with fans in a new and innovative way. Guest House allows artists and bands to create new ways of earning money through this tough time and also beyond this and into the future. 

Why not try it? Tell us and the artists what you think. If you don’t like it you can always cancel at any time. We can’t say fairer than that!

Welcome to Guest House”
