Uses
Musicians can create a profile similar to an EPK, with photos, MP3s and a bio. They can search for music venues by name, genre and location, and apply based on their availability. Venues create a profile geared towards their live music capacities, including technical specifications. Venue personnel can search for artists, make offers and view incoming applications, and have the choice of using built in e-ticketing. A booking product for music festivals became available in Spring 2011, used by Make Music New York and Fête de la Musique of Brisbane, Australia.
