Ryan The Son · Living room sets

HOME GAMETOUR

I'm bringing stripped-down sets and the stories behind the songs into living rooms. Request your city. When enough of you sign up and someone opens their doors, we tip off.

I CHOSE my hard.

Why living rooms?

Every independent artist chooses their hard. One hard is getting big enough to pay back a label while they keep a cut of everything you make. The other is building it yourself, with the people who actually care. I chose mine.

It costs money, unpaid hours and a lot of miles, but it pays out every single night in connection. The best shows this year were the small ones, where I could tell the story behind a song and meet the people singing it back.

So I'm building this one room at a time, with a village that gives a damn. I'm coming to you.

The standings

WHO'S GETTING the next Home Game?

These are the cities from the Play Will Set You Free tour. Every RSVP puts a point on your city's board. Want a city that isn't here yet? Write it in. When 10 people request it, it joins the board.

15 fans + 1 approved host + it fits a route = tip-off

How it works

THREE PLAYS to bring it home.

1

Request your city

Fill out the form below. It's free and it just tells me where the people are, so I'm not guessing which cities to route.

2

Someone opens the doors

A fan offers a living room, backyard, studio or loft. I work with the host directly on the date, the room and the details.

3

Tip-off

Everyone on that city's list gets first access to tickets. Patrons get first dibs. The address goes out to ticket holders before the show.

RSVP

Request your city

Tell me where you are so I know where to bring a Home Game. It's free and doesn't commit you to anything. You'll hear from me first when one gets close to you.

Your email only gets used for Home Game news.

Host application

Host a Home Game

Got a room? Host it at your place. No room? I'll rent a space near you through Peerspace and you bring the crowd. Either way, every host gets a quick call with me before anything is booked.

  • Your night is free
  • A shout-out from the stage (well, the couch)
  • First listen to new music before anyone else

Where would it happen?

Add at least one so I can say hi before we talk.

I'll reach out personally before anything gets booked.

Your city, your room

BRING IT home.

That energy, about 20 feet from your couch. Request your city or apply to host and get it on the board.

FAQ

GOOD questions.

Does RSVPing cost anything?

No. An RSVP just puts you on your city's board. Tickets come later, once a city has a host and a date, and the people on that city's list hear about them first.

Where is the show?

In a fan's home or space. Hosts stay private, so the address goes out only to ticket holders ahead of the show.

What happens at a Home Game?

A stripped-down set from the Recovering Athlete albums and beyond, the story behind each song, and time to actually talk. Small room, no stage, no barrier.

How do hosts get picked?

Apply with the host form. I look at whether your city has the fans, whether it fits a route, and whether the room works: space for 15 to 30 people, an outlet, and neighbors who won't mind music for a couple hours. Then we hop on a quick call before anything is booked.

I want to host but don't have the space.

Apply anyway and pick "I need a space." Once your city has the requests, I'll book a home, loft or studio near you on Peerspace. You bring your people and help spread the word, and your night is free.

I'm on Patreon. What do I get?

First dibs on Home Game tickets, and patrons are first in line to host. Check the box on the form so I can find you.

My city isn't on the board.

Pick "Somewhere else" on the form and write it in. When 10 people request a city, it joins the board and starts counting toward tip-off.
