Book a band or find your next gig in three swipes

Booking live music should feel like the music itself — quick, direct and a little bit fun. Here is how performers and venues connect on ServIndy.

Lead with your sound

Performers build a rich profile with live videos, photos, set lengths, rate, availability and social links — so venues hear the act before the first message.

Swipe to discover

Bands swipe through booking venues; venues swipe through local acts and bands. Hard filters for role, distance and venue type keep every card relevant.

Handshake to lock the date

When a venue and an act both swipe yes, you get a handshake — a mutual match that unlocks direct chat. Talk dates, set times and rate, then book it.

Built for bands, performers and the venues that hire them

Video-first profiles

A two-minute clip says more than a press kit. Upload performance video so bookers can judge the energy, the crowd and the sound for themselves.

Verified profiles

Verified performers and verified businesses help everyone book with confidence. You know who is on the other side of the handshake.

Filters that respect your calendar

Set hard filters for distance and venue type. Bands only see bookings worth driving to; venues only see acts that fit the room and the night.

Direct chat after the match

No middleman. Once you handshake, message directly to sort the date, the load-in, the set list and the rate — all inside the app.

Push notifications

Get pinged the moment a venue wants you or an act swipes on your night. Open gigs do not sit unanswered while someone else gets the slot.

Community feed for the scene

Post clips, tag your last show, find collaborators and follow the local scene near you. The feed keeps your name in front of bookers between gigs.

Book live music without the back-and-forth

Booking a band used to mean cold emails, voicemails and a folder full of dated press kits. ServIndy replaces all of it with a single, visual flow. Venues flip on the Actively Hiring toggle and start swiping through local musicians — bands, solo acts, DJs, duos and trios, cover bands and original artists — each one leading with the thing that actually matters: how they sound live. Because every profile carries performance video, rate, availability and venue-type preferences, a booker can size up a fit in seconds rather than days. When the venue swipes yes and the act swipes back, the handshake opens a private chat and the conversation jumps straight to dates and details.

Find gigs that are actually worth playing

For performers, ServIndy is a gig finder built around your real constraints. Set hard filters for distance so you are not pitching a Tuesday two hours away, and for venue type so a brewery act is not buried under nightclub slots. Your profile does the selling: drop in your strongest live clips, list your set lengths and rate, mark the nights you are open, and link your socials so a booker can dig deeper. Swipe through booking venues near you, and the moment interest is mutual you get a handshake and a direct line to the person who actually signs the check — no agent skimming the top, no gatekeeper losing your email. Swipe history means you can revisit a venue you liked, and visibility and block controls keep you in charge of who sees you.

One app for the whole local music economy

Whether you are a solo guitarist chasing brunch sets, a five-piece cover band filling weekends, or an event space that needs the right sound for a wedding, ServIndy puts both sides of the booking in the same place. Sign in with Apple or Google, build your profile once, and let the swipe-and-handshake flow do the introductions. It is free to join and free to use, with an optional premium subscription if you want more reach. Live music is local — so we made finding it local too.
