Host2Host was recently introduced to Meara McLaughlin, the Executive Director of MusicPortland. This non-profit is attempting to sustain and encourage musical performances in Portland. They are seeking to connect hosts with music venues for referrals for bands traveling to the city. The groups will be of all sizes, so lots of different listings could potentially be appropriate for the musicians.

One key factor influencing guest housing decisions will be storage space where musical equipment can be secured. In the best case, this would be a

locking garage that allows for a van to be parked inside it. Obviously, this is a challenge in Portland given the garage sizes that are normal in the city. So, it could be time to get creative. Do you have sleeping space but your neighbor has the garage? Determine their charge for the garage and go in on the project together! If you want to participate, please email me!
