Why Band Pencil?
When your gig system needs to do more.
A diary is only one part of running a live music business. Band Pencil connects the people, paperwork, finances and performance information around every booking.
Built for entertainment
Use workflows designed around musicians, bands, performers and entertainment businesses rather than a generic calendar.
Room to grow
Start with the tools you need now and use more of the platform as your operation becomes more complex.
