Sound familiar?

The hard part was never the music

It's everything around it — tracking down the right players, then keeping everyone on the same page once you've got them.

The old way

"Do you know a drummer in Dallas?"
Posting in Facebook groups.
Charts re-sent one player at a time.
The wrong file version.
"What's the call time again?"
"Who has the latest set list?"
Hoping everyone shows up ready.

The WhoNeedsAGig way

Search local players, hire your band, and drop everyone into one shared workspace — charts, set list, and call times already waiting.

One place. Everyone has everything.

How it works

Run a great gig — in four simple steps

Whether you're hiring the band or looking for your next gig, WhoNeedsAGig brings both sides of the stage together in one place.

Post your gig

Create your gig in minutes. Add the date, venue, rehearsal schedule, pay, dress code, call times, and the musicians you need — then publish it right away or save it as a draft until you're ready.

Find & invite musicians

Search qualified local musicians by instrument, city, genre, experience, availability, and rating. Invite your favorites, or let musicians apply directly to your gig.

Your band gets one shared workspace

Every gig automatically gets its own MyGig Workspace — charts, set lists, reference tracks, travel details, production notes, and messages, all in one place, so the whole band shows up ready.

Perform. Get paid. Build your reputation.

The show's over — but your reputation keeps growing. Pay your players, leave ratings, collect reviews, and build the trust that leads to your next booking.

Find the right players

Find the right musicians — anywhere

Build your band with confidence. Search by what actually matters when you're staffing a show.

Instrument City ZIP-code radius Genre Skill level Availability Experience Rating Languages Equipment Distance from your venue

Every profile shows photos, audio and video links, genres, experience, equipment, how they like to be paid, website links, availability, and more — so you have what you need before you send an invitation.

Can't make a gig? Find a sub — or pass it on.

Life happens. Take a gig and line up subs for any position, or find a sub for a gig you're already on. The leader confirms the sub, and the whole band stays in the loop automatically. It's the real-world way musicians actually cover gigs — built right in.
