We got an S.O.S. from Cassie, a bar manager in Dallas. See how we helped her turn a major headache into a big win in her new job.

One of our artists recently highlighted her essential tools, and we're thrilled to see GigFinesse recognized as a key part of the tech stack for performers nationwide. In a world where artists juggle countless platforms, we're committed to streamlining the booking process. Our goal? To let them focus on what truly matters - electrifying audiences with live performances. #MusicTech #IndependentArtists #GigBooking #GigFinesse #LiveMusic
If you're a musician, congratulations, you're also now the proud admin of one million apps. This is my tech stack as an independent musician: Website: Squarespace (considering a switch to Bandzoogle) Organization: Trello and Google Drive Show marketing: Bandsintown Group Music distribution: DistroKid (and Spotify for Artists/Apple Music for Artists) Booking Gigs: GigFinesse, GigSalad (and sending 1 million emails a week) Social Media management: Meta Business Suite and vibes Doing my best to get as much of this to talk to each other as possible and use as few tools as possible. I am also procrastinating on getting an email list going. Looking at ConvertKit → Soon to be Kit but y'all let me know what you like (preferably free or very low cost.. this is not an empire (yet))

Meet Jordanne, one of our integral marketing team members! Tell us a little bit about your role/what you do: I do everything from client & company branding, to some social media, to copywriting, graphic design, and my primary medium, photography! I oversee some of our special projects or any one-off creative assignments. What is your favorite part about working for GigFinesse? I love working with our team day in and day out. It’s such a special group of individuals united by a single goal that we’re all passionate about—enhancing the live entertainment experience. In what ways have you been able to grow in your position? I would consider myself a jack-of-all-trades, but feel like throughout my time at GigFinesse I have really gotten the chance to hone and grow in my graphic design and marketing management skills. Having the chance to be creative day in and day out is one of my greatest loves alongside digging my feet into marketing data. Working with GigFinesse in an industry I love has helped me blossom as a marketer. Tell us a Fun Fact about you: I love sharks almost as much as I love music. If I wasn’t working in or have a degree in Music, I would have become a marine biologist to work in shark conservation. Jordanne is also an independent neo-soul/alternative R&b artist with more music in the works.
