A simple way to get together

You bring the people.
We help bring the music.

  1. 01

    Tell us your plan.

    Share your date, area, budget, and the kind of music you have in mind. It’s fine if you’re still figuring it out.

  2. 02

    Find your fit.

    We personally check for a musician who fits your gathering and is available. You review the details and total price.

  3. 03

    Make a night of it.

    Once you and the musician agree, we help coordinate the plan so you can enjoy the music and your people.

For the love of playing

Your talent deserves
a little room to play.

Play the music you love. Earn a little extra. Meet people nearby. You choose your rates, availability, and the gigs that feel right.

Hobbyists welcome. No need to turn it into a full-time thing.

Free to apply. Giggens’ fee is 15% of the musician’s booking price when a gig is booked.

A few things to know

Small gatherings.
Clear expectations.

How much does it cost?

Musicians set their rates. Tell us your budget and how long you’d like the music to last, and we’ll look for a fit. You’ll agree to a total price before confirming a booking. Submitting a request is free.

Is my booking confirmed when I submit?

No. Your request starts the conversation. We’ll contact you about availability, the musician, price, and next steps. A booking is confirmed only after the details are agreed.

Where are you starting?

Our first outreach is in Alexandria. DC, College Park, other DMV communities, and later Raleigh are next in our plans. You can share interest from any area; we’ll confirm whether we can help before making arrangements.

What kind of musicians can apply?

Local hobbyist musicians who enjoy playing for small gatherings. Tell us your instrument, style, availability, and rates. A casual recording is welcome. Applying doesn’t guarantee gigs; we’ll get in touch to learn more.

Got a night in mind?
