GigMaven is a new innovative way for aspiring artists to connect with live music venues. It allows artists and venues to find and book gigs online, making booking gigs a hassle-free process.

Just create a profile, upload your music and pictures, and apply to gigs. It's that simple. After you've applied, venues will respond to let you know whether or not you've been accepted to play that gig.

Yes. It's already hard enough to make it in the industry, and artists don't need another bill to pay. All we ask is that you fill out your profile, apply, and give it your all.

No catch. We want to help artists out.

After you create a profile, GigMaven works by allowing artists to apply to open gigs that venues create. Artists can search for open gigs and apply to them.

To contact us, please go to the Contact page.

Beta means the site works, but we're working 24/7 to make it better. Please tell us any ways we can improve.
