The problem
Booking local gigs is still broken
Musicians coordinate through fragmented, general-purpose tools that are slow, low-trust, and impossible to search by instrument, genre, or location.
- × Craigslist and Facebook groups — no structure, no search, no trust.
- × Group texts that only reach the people you already know.
- × Showing up under-informed about pay, setlist, dress code, and location.
- × No fast, reliable way to fill a slot when someone drops out.
How it works
From “I need a player” to booked in minutes
01
Discover
Browse a radius-filtered feed of local gigs — filter by instrument, genre, pay, and distance. The Emergency Board surfaces last-minute paid gigs that need a player within 72 hours.
02
Audition
Tap “Audition for this gig.” Your profile — with at least one performance video — gives bandleaders the signal they need before they commit.
03
Book
Get accepted, message the band, and lock in the details. Build a network of musicians that turns one-off gigs into ongoing working relationships.
Features
Everything you need to find the gig — or the player
The GigBoard
A local feed built for the way musicians actually work
Every listing shows what's needed at a glance — positions, genre, date, pay, and distance. Radius-based filtering means you only see gigs you can actually make.
The Urgent Board
Fill a slot in 72 hours
When a drummer bails the night before a paid show, you don't have time for Craigslist. The Urgent Board flags urgent, paid gigs so the right player can step in fast.
Profiles & gear
Trust, by design
Auditions are gated on a performance video, so bandleaders see real signal before committing. Profiles showcase your instruments, gear, media, and social links.
For bandleaders & studios
Hire qualified musicians, fast.
Whether you're a bandleader scrambling to fill a last-minute slot or a studio booking freelance session players, GigBoard gives you fast access to qualified local musicians with the trust signals you need.
- ✓ Post a gig in minutes and reach qualified local players.
- ✓ See performance video before you commit — fewer no-shows, less risk.
- ✓ Boost urgent slots on the Urgent Board.
- ✓ Find session and remote players for studio work.

How do I find session musicians quickly?
Post a gig on GigBoard and specify the instrument, genre, pay, and whether it’s a live or studio session. Qualified local session players can audition immediately — you review their performance video before committing, so there are no surprises.
What instruments and roles does GigBoard support?
GigBoard supports all common instruments and roles — guitar, bass, drums, keys, piano, saxophone, trumpet, violin, vocals, and more. Bandleaders post what they need; musicians list the instruments they play on their profile so matching is fast and accurate.
