Join a band near you
You are looking for a seat, not a vanity profile. Search openings, apply with a short note and a clip, and talk to bands that actually need your instrument this month.
How joining a band works here
No boost credits. No “featured musician” paywall. Listings are classifieds: city, role, commitment, then a message.
Openings first, not endless scrolling
Start from live musicians-wanted posts. Filter by instrument and city so you are not DMing bands that are not hiring.
Apply with proof
A 60-second clip beats a paragraph about your influences. Bands decide faster when they can hear you.
Keep a listing live
You can apply to openings and keep your own musician listing up so bands find you while you search.
Free to apply
Applications are not gated. If a paid feature ever ships, you will see the price before you commit.
A week of joining a band, not a year of hoping
Treat it like a job search with audio, not a social feed.
Pick two or three openings you can actually rehearse for. City and night-of-week matter more than “we’re going places.” If you cannot make Tuesday, skip the Tuesday band.
Send a specific message: the opening title, your city, your instrument, and a clip. Ask one real question (first gig, rehearsal address, originals vs covers). Three or four sentences.
When someone replies, do one jam before you commit a season. Talk pay, splits, and a graceful off-ramp. If they will not write those down, that is the answer.
If you want more than one shot at once, keep a public musician listing and check find-members plus musicians-wanted the same week.
