Hey all,

If you've just put a band together and you're finding it impossible to actually get in front of venues, I get it. I remember what it was like starting out. Sending emails into the void, not knowing who's actually looking for acts, no idea what the going rate is or how any of it works.

That's why I built GigXchange. It's a marketplace where venues and promoters post their available dates with the budget, genre, and what they're looking for. You can browse by your area, find what fits, and apply direct. If they like what they see, you're booked. Contract and payment all handled through the platform.

You don't need a following or an agent. You just need a profile with some decent photos and a bit about what you do. The platform does the rest. You can upload tracks, a video, set your availability, and build up verified reviews as you play. Think of it as your press kit that actually gets seen by the right people.

It's free to sign up and if you join during early access you keep free access forever. No catch.

I'm building this on my own because I watched too many good musicians give up before they even got started. If you've got questions or feedback, I genuinely read all your comments and want to help.
