Uptown Groove, New York Wedding and Event Band

Last year, we had 210 bookings. I could not imagine doing this without Back On Stage. It is the most pivotal aspect of what brought Uptown Groove to where it is today, hands down.

A game changer for my music biz. No other app that I have found caters specifically to the needs of a music business, and I love that the creators are also musicians and know from experience what makes our lives easier and our businesses better.

Reuben Avery, Founder of Back On Stage

A Tool Forged in Burnout

Hi, I’m Reuben, a bandleader just like you. For years, I poured my heart into my 9-piece event band, but the relentless cycle of managing gigs, clients, and musicians with spreadsheets and scattered apps led me straight to burnout. By 2017, despite playing 70 gigs a year, the band wasn’t profitable and I was exhausted.

I knew there had to be a better way, but the tool I needed didn't exist. So I decided to build it myself.

I created Back On Stage not just to be a software company, but to fulfill a mission: to help musicians like us build sustainable careers and bring more live music to the world, without sacrificing their sanity. I learned everything the hard way so you don't have to.

We know what it feels like to waste your money on dozens of apps that don't actually make you money.

Your band will save $0 per Year

Auto-Book
learn more Auto-Book sends automated gig offers to your musicians and fills your band rosters while you sleep. On average, it takes 3 gig offer emails to confirm 1 musician for a gig. We estimate 7 minutes in time savings per email sent.
Gig Payouts & Auto-Pay
learn more Pay your entire team in seconds or schedule post-gig automatic payouts so you never have to worry about late payments that damage your reputation again. We estimate 10 minutes in time savings per payout.
Client Contracts
learn more Generate a contract with a click - it pulls in existing booking details saving you from costly mistakes. Clients sign online from your sleek client portal. We estimate 30 minutes in time savings per contract sent.
Client Invoices
learn more Spin up an invoice including deposit terms, and let clients easily pay you online. No bookkeeping or Quickbooks skills needed! We estimate 20 minutes in time savings per invoice sent.
Lead Form & Auto Follow-Up
learn more Let our robots chase your new prospects with your custom email sequences. You'll stay top-of-mind and land more gigs! We estimate a time savings of 28 minutes per confirmed booking, based on our statistical ratio of 4 lead follow-up emails sent per closed booking, and a send time of 7 minutes per email.
Set Lists & Storage
learn more Centralize all your song-related materials—like sheet music PDFs, reference recordings, and notes—all in one place. The 'insurance policy' for your band, ensuring every musician, including last-minute substitutes, has exactly what they need to deliver a consistent and professional performance. We estimate a time savings of 30-minutes per gig, and a cost savings $180/year per band member when compared to the Dropbox Business plan (a comparable substitute for repertoire storage).
