Built by musicians — for everyone who makes live music happen.
For every kind of working musician — jazz, gospel, country, pop, blues, R&B, worship, tribute, corporate & cruise.
It's everything around it — tracking down the right players, then keeping everyone on the same page once you've got them.
"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.
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.
WhoNeedsAGig is more than a musician directory. It's the complete platform for finding musicians, managing gigs, organizing your band, planning tours, and keeping every performance running smoothly.
Whether you're booking a local club, producing a festival, leading a church band, or managing a national tour, everything you need is finally in one place.
Press play for a look inside a real gig — or scroll the highlights below. No more group texts and lost attachments; the schedule, the players, and the whole show in one place.
Rehearsals, tech, previews, and shows — one schedule everyone shares. Each player taps ✓ I'm good, ⚠️ Conflict, or 🔁 Need a sub, and you see who's in for every date, live. No group texts, no guessing.
Search by instrument and city, browse by category, and see who's open to work right now. Found someone? Invite them to a chair in one tap — they get the whole gig, ready to go.
Band, set list, charts, contacts, travel, and pay — everything for the gig in one shared workspace. Everyone opens the same thing and shows up ready. That's the whole idea: everything you need to run live music.
Whether you're hiring the band or looking for your next gig, WhoNeedsAGig brings both sides of the stage together in one place.
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.
Search qualified local musicians by instrument, city, genre, experience, availability, and rating. Invite your favorites, or let musicians apply directly to your gig.
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.
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.
Build your band with confidence. Search by what actually matters when you're staffing a show.
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.
🔁 Musicians: can't make a gig — even an outside one like a church or wedding date? Find a sub →
Stop managing gigs through text messages, email threads, cloud folders, and spreadsheets. Every gig you create automatically gets its own MyGig Workspace — a private command center where your whole band stays organized.
Everyone has the latest information. Everyone stays on the same page. Everyone arrives prepared.
Explore the MyGig WorkspaceLife 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.
Stop rebuilding charts and set lists for every performance. Your Music Library stores each song once — so the next time you play it, everything's already there.
One library. Unlimited gigs.
Whether you're playing three cities or thirty, WhoNeedsAGig keeps your tour organized from beginning to end.
Spend less time planning. Spend more time performing.
Plan Your TourA booking is only as good as the people on the stand. WhoNeedsAGig helps trust grow with every show.
Artists rate musicians and musicians rate artists after every gig — so reliability is earned and easy to see.
Band members can suggest a great player for an open chair, so you're hiring on real word of mouth.
Private chats, group threads, and announcements keep the whole team in sync — no scattered texts.
Your next opportunity could be waiting in a city you've never played.
Discover new places. Meet new people. Grow your career.
