Booking directory for working bands

The booking emails that work.

Cold-pitching dead inboxes is the worst part of being a touring band. We track every email through delivery and replies. The ones that bounce, get cleared. What you see is what's actually alive.

Act one — the way it is now

You've been here before.

  1. 01You spend an afternoon copying booking addresses into a spreadsheet. Fifty rooms across four cities. Your back hurts.
  2. 02You blast pitches. Half bounce within a day — "recipient address rejected" — because the booker quit and nobody updated the site. The other half go dark.
  3. 03Three weeks later you've got two confirmed shows. The venue you actually wanted? Their booking@ forwards into a dead Mailchimp list.
  4. 04Next tour, you start over. The same dead emails are still on the same listings. Nothing ever updates.

The problem isn't finding addresses. It's finding ones that work.

Act two — the mechanic

Every email here was alive in the last 30 days.

Three things happen continuously. Each one tightens the data. None of it depends on you.

01

Replies prove the address.

When you send a pitch through us, we capture the lifecycle. Delivered. Opened. Bounced. When a venue replies, you mark it on your end and the venue gets a greenVerified ✓badge that everyone else sees.

02

Bounces auto-prune.

A hard bounce nulls the booking email and flags the venue. An MX domain check runs every 7 days; dead domains get pulled too. Bad data falls out automatically. The directory shrinks before it shows you something broken.

03

Bookers fix their own.

The venue's actual booker can claim the listing through a magic-link verified to their booking inbox. Once they do, they edit name, capacity, the booking address — the source of truth becomes the venue itself. That's theClaimed ✓badge.

"Verified within 30 days" is a promise we can actually keep, because every signal — open, reply, bounce, MX failure, booker claim — flows back into the venue's record in real time.

The data quality compounds while every other directory's decays.

Act three — what's in there

2,118 venues. 504 with booking emails.

Across 101 cities and 19 states. New metros every week, automatic discovery feeds the queue.
