Live from Daryl's House

Live from Daryl's House (simply known as Daryl's House and often abbreviated as LFDH) is an online music series that debuted in the autumn of 2007. The show features singer-songwriter Daryl Hall performing with his band and various guest artists at his home in Millerton, New York. The show provides a performance space that is an alternative to live concerts and studio sessions for popular artists. This allows the artists to "…have fun and [be] creatively spontaneous". The majority of shows include a segment in which Hall and the guest artist prepare food from different cuisines for everyone to eat. The food comes from various local restaurants and the chefs of those establishments walk Hall and guest through the preparation of the food.

Originally a web series, Live from Daryl's House expanded to broadcast TV but remained unchanged. Hall was quoted by Billboard.com as saying "it's an Internet show that is being shown on television, so I'm not adapting the show at all in any way to be a 'TV' show." The show debuted in 95 markets on September 24, 2011, with back-to-back half-hour episodes featuring Train (Episode 33) and Fitz and the Tantrums (Episode 35). Starting with the 66th episode, the shows are filmed at Hall's club, Daryl's House, in Pawling, New York.

The first web show was a solo production which featured Hall and his backing band playing "Everything Your Heart Desires". It was not until the second episode that the show introduced its guest star format. Hall's long-time performing and songwriting partner John Oates (of the band Hall & Oates) was the first guest on the show with a Christmas episode entitled "Trimming the Tree".

Hall created Live from Daryl's House as a refuge from live touring on the road. He stated in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine that he wanted to bring the world to him. Hall wanted the opportunity to collaborate with contemporary artists, and this is his vehicle in which to do so.

Live from Daryl's House originally appeared on the program's website in November 2007. The initial episode was completely funded by Hall. In subsequent shows, costs were defrayed by corporate sponsors. In addition to corporate sponsorship, Hall routinely plugged local restaurants that provided catering for the shows. Often, the chef would teach Hall and the guest artist how to prepare at least one of the dishes that were served. When the program gained popularity, Hall's Good Cop Bad Cop Productions company signed two syndication deals. In 2012, the Viacom-owned Palladia network took over the finances with help from a deal arranged by executive producer Jonathan Wolfson (Hall & Oates manager).

In July 2018, BMG announced a new partnership with Live from Daryl's House. The agreement included worldwide rights to the entire 82-episode collection filmed from 2007 to 2016. The show's new production began in the fall of 2018 and was executive produced by Daryl Hall and Jonathan Wolfson for Good Cop Bad Cop Productions, and Joe Thomas and Bob Frank for BMG. Domenic Cotter of Sound Off Productions continued as the show's producer.

As of November 2025, 91 episodes of Live from Daryl's House have been broadcast.

Live from Daryl's House gained traction on Rural Media Group's channels, and the Palladia network through a deal brokered by the show's Executive Producer Jonathan Wolfson, Rick Krim (VH1), and Ben Zurier (Executive Vice President, Programming Strategy, VH1, VH1 Classic, Palladia). The show currently continues to air on VH1, MTV Live (formerly Palladia) (Viacom Media Network), RFD-TV and Family Net (both of the Rural Media Group), and on the Live from Daryl's House website. The show's website continues to premier the latest episodes from the series, and holds an archive of some of the past episodes. In an announced agreement, 2014 will see the show continue to air on Viacom Media Network's Palladia music channel and new episodes will appear on all previously mentioned outlets.
