Pick Your Role
Band-AId works differently depending on who you are in the music ecosystem. Pick your role below to see how Band-AId makes your life easier. And if you wear multiple hats (band leader by night, musician by weekend, booking agent because somebody has to do it), don’t worry—one account handles everything.
For Musicians
Stop Hunting for Gig Details
The Problem:
- Scrolling through 47 group texts trying to find the venue address
- No idea what you earned last year when tax time rolls around
- Gig calls buried in Facebook messages and group chats you checked three days too late
- Double-booking yourself because three bands share none of the same information
The Solution:
Gig Calls – When a band needs a sub or has an open position, you get notified instantly. Express interest or claim the spot — your instruments on your profile do the matching. No cold calls, no “do you know anyone who plays keys?”
Sub Requests – When a band leader needs you specifically, the request comes straight to you. Accept or decline. That’s the whole conversation.
Unified Calendar – All your gigs across every band, in one calendar. Color-coded by band. No more cross-referencing three separate schedules and a notebook.
Real-Time Notifications – Gig added, details changed, pay updated — you know the moment it happens. No more finding out at soundcheck that the load-in moved.
Tax-Ready Reports – Every payment from every band, every gig, all year. Export a CSV. Hand it to your accountant. Move on.
Blackout Dates – Mark the dates you’re unavailable once. Every band you’re in sees it. No individual texts, no “I already told them I can’t do that weekend.”
BandsInTown Sync – Already listing shows on BandsInTown? Import them directly. Export back out when you update. One place to manage, everywhere it needs to appear.
Gig Details — All of Them – Venue address, load-in time, soundcheck, set time, pay, parking, special notes. All there. Nobody has to ask.
Production Crew Too – FOH engineers, lighting designers, guitar techs — same features, same calendar, same reports. If you work gigs, this works for you.
For Band Leaders
Post Once, Everyone Sees It
The Problem:
- Texting every musician the same venue address and load-in time, every single gig
- Scrambling to fill a spot 48 hours before the show with no idea who’s available
- Tracking who got paid what in a spreadsheet you’ll lose by February
- Answering “What time is soundcheck?” from six different people on show day
The Solution:
Post Once, Everyone Sees It – Enter the gig details once. Every band member gets notified immediately. Venue address, load-in time, soundcheck, pay, parking — all there. Nobody has to ask.
Gig Calls – Need to fill a position? Post a Gig Call. Eligible musicians on your roster get notified instantly — matched by instrument. Set it to first-come or review responses and pick. The musician you select is automatically added to the gig with a payout record created. Done.
Sub Requests – Need a specific musician for a specific gig? Send a direct Sub Request. They accept or decline. Thirty seconds, start to finish.
Tour Management – Name it, set the dates, and your gigs join automatically. Add hotels, flights, meals, and transport to a shared itinerary everyone can see. Tour expenses roll straight into your financial reports. Musicians get the itinerary. You get the receipts.
Multi-Band Management – Run multiple bands with different rosters, rates, and calendars — all in one account. No switching apps, accounts, or mental filing systems.
Financial Tracking – Set different pay rates per musician per gig. Track what everyone was paid. Export tax-ready reports at year end. Your accountant gets a spreadsheet instead of a shoebox.
Conflict Detection – Book a gig and the system checks your musicians’ calendars — including their commitments with other bands. Conflicts surface before they become problems.
Availability at a Glance – See blackout dates and other commitments before you book. Stop finding out at the last minute that your drummer has a wedding.
Electronic Press Kit – Upload your band’s EPK PDFs directly to your profile. Booking agents and venues find your press kit when they find you.
Production Team – Add your FOH engineer, lighting designer, and road crew with their own roles and rates. They see the same gig details as everyone else.
For Booking Agents
Match Bands to Venues Without the Chaos
The Problem:
- Sending the same venue details to every band member individually, every time
- Manually calculating commissions and double-checking your math
- No visibility into which bands or musicians actually have conflicts
The Solution:
Searchable Agent Profile – Your profile lists your commission rates, specializations, and booking history. Bands and musicians search for booking agents. You get found.
Smart Band Search – Filter bands by genre, availability, and location. See who’s actually free before you make a single call.
Roster Visibility – Band leaders can grant you visibility into their musicians’ availability — blocked dates, basic info — so you can schedule without playing twenty questions.
Automated Commission Tracking – Set your rate — percentage or flat fee — per gig. The app calculates your commission automatically. Export for taxes. No more spreadsheets, no more math.
Business Analytics – Total bookings, revenue, outstanding commissions, top-earning bands. The numbers you need without building them yourself.
Instant Updates – When a band accepts, declines, or a payment status changes, you know immediately.

For Venue Managers
Professional Venue Management
The Problem:
- Bands showing up without knowing where to load in because nobody relayed your specs
- Managing multiple venues across different logins or spreadsheets
