Why Band Pencil?
A modern home for your gigs and musicians.
WheresTheGig helped pioneer online band management. Band Pencil builds on that idea with a modern interface, connected client and performer workflows, and a platform that continues to evolve.
More than gig details
Bring invoices, contracts, payments, files, setlists and client information into the same booking workflow.
Easy switching
Import musicians, clients, events and songs rather than rebuilding your operation manually.
