67% Of Bandleaders Drown In Band Communication. You Don't Need To 🫵

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.

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.

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.

BOS is a web app, meaning you don't need to download anything form any app store. But it's easy to add the app to your home screen. Just open BOS on your mobile browser and click the "Share" button inside your browser window. Then click "Add to Home Screen". Now you can access BOS from your device easily.

BOS sends gig offers via email or SMS (SMS is an optional add-on with additional fees). Each of your team members will need to register with a valid email address in order to receive app notifications. You can also purchase our SMS add-on if you'd like to enable SMS notifications for your admins and musicians!

Inside Back On Stage, there are two different permission levels; admins and members. Admins have full system access and can see everything, whereas members can only access information pertaining to gigs you have booked them for. Within individual bookings they are booked for, they cannot see sensitive information like client details, financial information, the client contract and client invoice, nor will they see how much anyone else in the ensemble is being paid. As an admin, from any booking page, you can click on the Actions menu and select "View as non-admin" to preview the current booking the way your musicians and crew will see it. **NOTE: only our "Leader" plans allow you to add members and admins to your team.

You can accept online payments from your clients using our PayPal integration. You will need a verified PayPal business account to set this up. Once activated, you can accept client payments via credit card, debit card and PayPal account. Individual transaction fees vary by country, but are usually around 2.9% of the transaction amount. You can likely recoup these fees just by enabling the "Tip" option on your client invoices - we have observed that clients are more likely to tip when paying with credit card and extra revenue from tips easily covers processing fees.

If, for any reason, you decide the BOS is not a great fit for you, just let us know within 90 days of your free trial ending and we'll refund all your subscription payments. How's that for great service!

Of course. We don't just expect you to figure it all out alone. Our team will reach out to you after you sign up and offer whatever help you need to migrate your existing booking data and get your team set up. We have chat, email, phone and even video conference support! (Oh, and it's all free!)

Sign up only takes about 60 seconds. Once you're signed up, you'll set up your company first, which can take anywhere from 15-25 minutes (Don't worry, there's plenty of help along the way!). After that, you'll be ready to book your complimentary onboarding call with your account manager and start putting Back On Stage to the test.

Currently, we have integrations with PayPal (to facilitate your client payments and musician payouts), Google Calendar (so all your bookings stay in sync) and Twilio (so that you can get SMS notifications).

Yes! Our "show feed widget" allows you to publish all your "public" bookings to any page on your website, complete with show details, a poster and your ticket link.

Currently, BOS is primarily focused on booking management and automation. Not so much on show promotion, unfortunately. Although we enable you to schedule Facebook and Twitter posts and publish your booking feed to your website, your fan email list will still need to be managed elsewhere.

Currently, we do not offer a convenient way for you to track merchandise or ticket sales. We recommend great eCommerce sites like Shopify for that!
