Is there a fee to use this website?
No. This website is completely free for both employers and musicians looking for jobs. There are no commissions.
Who can offer a gig?
Anyone who can pay a New Orleans musician to perform, or can offer a steady gig with payment in the form of housing or meals, can offer a gig. The venue does not have to be an established music venue such as a concert hall, but could be a hotel lobby, restaurant, coffee shop, college campus, etc. You can also offer a gig without a fixed venue, such as a position in a travelling band.
Do I need to register, if I am a musician looking for a gig?
No. Only people offering gigs need to register.
