How Musicians Work

Band Pencil is great for storing your musicians information securely. You can also add musicians to gigs so you share the information with them and allow them to submit invoices for payment. Musicians get their own online portal like clients so they can login and check information themselves!

1. Navigate to the Musicians page and click Add Musician button.

3. Click Add Musician!
