Shared Calendar
Replace calendar invites with gig offers and an auto-book bot that obeys your call order preferences and fills your band roster fast. Members only see gigs they’re booked for.

Leave your folder at home. Keep your team on the same page and share PDFs, MP3s, keys, tempos, videos, notes and more, all in one place.
Task Management
Organize folders of tasks cleanly within bookings. Each team member will only see tasks assigned to or created by them, so everyone can stay focused and clutter-free.
Payroll
Pay on time, every time. Payout reports and reminders help you track who has been paid and who hasn’t. You can even export reports for taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered a few questions here, but hit the chat button to connect with us if you've got more!
-
What are Booked Roles?
A role is any instrument or job position in your music company or band. For example, in a 5-piece rock band, the Roles you may have could include 'Vocalist', 'Bass', 'Drums', 'Guitar' and 'Keyboard'. When you create bookings, you'll need people on your team to fulfill these roles, so you'll need to book them.
With Back On Stage, you can automate this using our Auto-Book or Shotgun booking methods. Our robots send gig offers and reminders to your team, and track all the responses for you, saving you lots of time and stress. You just set up your preferred call list for each role and leave the rest to us.
Booked Roles are consumed only when our robots successfully book someone for a role. We deliver results, or you don't pay! Note that you can also book roles manually by simply adding roles to bookings and selecting a musician. This does not use your booked roles credits. -
Why am I billed based on booked roles?
We want to help you grow your music business and provide the means to measure your success! Arbitrary factors like your company's amount of members, songs, contacts, or bookings may not reflect an accurate picture of the success of your music business.
The true indicator of growth is how many members you can regularly book onto your gigs - Booked Roles.
The more members you book, the harder our Auto-Book System works for you, saving you valuable time and money.
-
How many Booked Roles do I need?
It depends.
Booked Roles are counted in the month the role is booked (not the month of the actual booking). For example, if Dave accepted your gig offer on August 15th for a gig in August, it will count toward your Booked Roles Credits for August. If you sent Dave the gig offer in March and he accepted it then, it would count toward your Booked Roles Credits for March.
On a monthly subscription, your Booked Roles Credits reset every month. On an annual plan, your credits last the entire year. This means that if you have a seasonal business with concentrated hiring, an annual plan provides more value. If your role bookings are consistent throughout the year, a monthly plan may suit you.
To calculate how many Booked Roles you need per month:
(Number of gigs per month) X (Number of musicians per gig) = Booked Roles
If you're unsure, you can start on our basic "Leader" plan and see how it goes.

How do I send an invoice to a client?
To send an invoice to a client, first you need to create a booking that the invoice will be connected to. Inside the "Booking Creator" add your event details and hit save. From there, just click on the "Client Invoice" button to generate your invoice. You can make any necessary edits to your invoice, then save it. Return to your booking page and compose a new email to your client. When you hit send, the email will contain a link to the client portal where your client can go to view or pay the invoice you just created.
-
How can I collect payment from my invoices?
We offer a PayPal integration which links directly to your business PayPal account for quick and easy payment collection. If you'd like to move money outside of Back On Stage, you can record those transactions using our built-in payment method options for Cash, Check or eTransfer, or you can create your own custom methods. Learn more about collecting client payments in our help center
-
Are there fees for collecting payments?
If you choose to use our PayPal integration to collect client payments, PayPal will charge a small percentage (usually 2.9-3.0%) of the transaction plus a small fee (usually around $0.30). If you choose not to use PayPal, there are no fees associated with client payments. Learn more about payment processing fees and best practices in our help center.
