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 for the venue address. Not knowing what you earned when tax season hits. Missing gigs buried in Facebook messages.
The Solution:
Unified Calendar – All your gigs from all your bands in one view. Never double-book yourself again.
Real-Time Notifications – Gig added? You know instantly. Details changed? You’re notified. Soundcheck moved? You know before you leave.
Tax-Ready Reports – Track every payment from every gig. Export a CSV showing date, band, venue, amount, payment method. Your accountant will love you.
Blackout Dates – Mark your vacation once, it syncs across all your bands automatically.
Gig Details in One Place – Venue address, load-in time, soundcheck, set times, pay, parking info, special notes. No more midnight texts asking “What’s the venue again?”
Production Crew Included – FOH engineers, lighting designers, guitar techs—same features, same benefits.
For Band Leaders
Post Once, Everyone Sees It
The Problem:
Texting 8 people the same venue address individually. Answering “What time is soundcheck?” a dozen times. Spreadsheet chaos.
The Solution:
Post Once – Enter gig details ONCE. Every band member sees it instantly. No more individual texts, no more “Did everyone get the memo?” panic.
Manage Multiple Bands – Wedding band AND tribute act? Both in one app with separate rosters, calendars, and rates.
Financial Tracking – Track what you owe each musician. Different pay rates for different gigs. Export reports for taxes. (We track payments, you still pay them however you want.)
Conflict Detection – Booking a Saturday you’re already booked? Band-AId stops you before it’s embarrassing.
Availability Checking – See if your drummer is available across all their bands. No more “Let me check and get back to you” limbo.
Production Crew Coordination – Track sound engineers, lighting techs, roadies with roles and rates.
For Booking Agents
Match Bands to Venues Without the Chaos
The Problem:
Texting venue details to every band member. Commission calculations on a calculator. “Did you get my email?” from 5 bands.
The Solution:
Smart Band Search – Filter by genre, availability, and location. Find the right band for the right venue instantly.
See Everyone’s Availability – Need a jazz trio Saturday? See who’s free immediately. No more texting 10 band leaders.
One-Click Booking – Enter details once, send to band leader, entire band sees it automatically. No more “What’s the venue address?” questions.
Automatic Commission Tracking – Set your rate (percentage or flat fee), Band-AId calculates everything. Export CSV for taxes.
Know Your Business – See total gigs booked, revenue generated, outstanding commissions, and which bands are top earners.
Real-Time Updates – Instant notifications when bands accept/decline, details change, or payments update.
For Rockstars
Everything, All At Once
You play in 3+ bands, book your own gigs, maybe book for others too, and juggle more calendars than humanly possible.
Rockstar tier gives you ALL the features:
- All Musician features (track gigs, payments, availability)
- All Band Leader features (manage bands, post details, track payouts)
- All Booking Agent features (book gigs, track commissions)
- Plus: Priority support, advanced analytics, multi-role dashboard, unlimited everything
If you’re making serious money from music across multiple revenue streams, this pays for itself in time saved.
For Venue Managers
Professional Venue Management
The Problem:
Venue info scattered everywhere. Bands showing up with no idea about load-in restrictions. Managing multiple venues with no system.
The Solution:
Complete Venue Profiles – Name, address, capacity, category, parking, load-in instructions, stage specs, equipment availability, hospitality amenities. Everything in one place.
Professional Contacts – Manage specialized contacts (production manager, FOH engineer, lighting director, hospitality manager, etc.) with phone, email, extension, and notes. Booking agents know exactly who to reach.
Multi-Venue Management – Paid tier lets you manage multiple venues from one account. Perfect for venue management companies.
Connect with Booking Pros – Search for booking agents and Rockstar-tier users (who have booking capabilities). You work with professionals, not searching for bands directly.
Professional Booking Calendar – Track confirmed and pending bookings across all your venues. Avoid double-bookings.
Show Details – Load-in time, soundcheck, doors, band contacts, special requirements. Booking agents see your complete venue specs automatically.
Why it’s affordable: $2.99/mo because more venues on Band-AId means more gigs for everyone. Win-win.

For Musicians and Production Crew
"I Just Want to Know Where to Be and When"
You're tired of:
- Scrolling through 47 unread group messages to find the venue address
- Asking “What time is load-in?” for the third time
- Having no idea what you earned last year when your accountant asks
- Missing gigs because the invite got buried in a Facebook group
Here's how Band-AId fixes that:
Everything in One Calendar
All your gigs, rehearsals, tours, and band events in one unified view. No more juggling three different band calendars, your day job schedule, and trying to remember which Saturday you’re actually free.
Multiple bands? We got you. Each band has its own color-coded calendar that rolls up into your master view. Playing in a wedding band, a metal tribute act, and filling in for your buddy’s jazz quartet? You’ll never double-book yourself again.
Never Miss a Notification
When you’re added to a gig, you know instantly. When details change (because they always do), you know immediately. When soundcheck gets moved up an hour? You’ll know before you’re halfway to the venue.
Real-time WebSocket notifications mean no more “Did anyone tell the drummer?” situations. Spoiler: The drummer knows.
Tax Season? Actually Not Terrible.
Remember last April when your accountant asked “How much did you make from gigging?” and you said “Uh… a lot? Maybe?”
Band-A.I.d tracks every payment from every band. Export a detailed report showing every gig, every band, every payment. Your accountant will be shocked. You’ll be relieved. Win-win.
Payment tracking includes:
- Date of gig
- Band name
- Venue
- Amount paid
- Payment method (cash, Venmo, check, cryptocurrency, whatever)
- Tax-ready CSV export
Blackout Dates That Actually Work
Going on vacation? Mark your blackout dates so band leaders know you’re unavailable. No more “Sorry, I’m in Tahiti that week” texts after someone books you for a wedding.
Your blackout dates sync across all your bands automatically. Book that vacation guilt-free.
All the Info You Need, None of the Hunting
Every gig has all the details in one place:
- Venue name and address (with map link)
- Load-in time
- Soundcheck time
- Set times
- What you’re getting paid
- Parking info
- Special notes (“Bring the fog machine,” “Venue has house drums,” etc.)
No more texting the band leader at 11 PM asking “Wait, what’s the venue address again?”
Production Crew? You're Included.
FOH engineer? Lighting designer? Guitar tech? Sound crew? You’re not forgotten. Band-AId tracks production roles just like musicians, with the same benefits:
- Gig schedules and details
- Payment tracking
- Blackout dates
- Multi-band support (because good techs are always in demand)
