The bandleader’s workbench — from the first call to the final payout.
The tools out there work, technically. But every one of them solves a different problem than the one you actually have at 3pm when a client moves the call time and you need every musician on the gig to know right now.
GigWright isn't trying to be a marketplace, a CRM with ambitions, or a contracts-and-invoicing suite. It's a calendar-synced logistics spine for the working bandleader — and it does that one job exceptionally well.
iCloud via CalDAV, Google Calendar, Outlook — set per musician, once. Edits flow both ways. No more reconciling who's looking at what.
Change the call time and every musician gets a text that says exactly what changed. No re-sending the whole message. No alert fatigue.
Personalized per musician — each sees only their own pay, their own role. One click, sent. Or downloadable as a PDF that looks like you printed it on real paper.
Client payment, band total, your net. Per-musician pay with paid-status and method — cash, Venmo, Zelle, or check. Replaces the spreadsheet you've been keeping for years.
When every musician on a gig is marked paid, a green Push to QuickBooks button appears. Review once, click once, and the bills post to QBO — each musician as a vendor, each payout as a bill, tied to the gig. No re-keying at tax time.
Musician directory with contact info, pay defaults, calendar preference, and notification settings — they manage their own. Plus a venue database with maps, contacts, and timezone.
Optional musician login shows their own gigs, their own pay, their own calendar prefs. Never the roster, never the reconciliation, never another musician's amount. Hard wall, no leaks.
Build a song library once, drop songs into per-gig set lists, attach PDF charts. Musicians get the full kit — set list, charts, gig sheet — in one tap on their phone.
Your mileage and every sideman's, tracked per gig at the federal GSA rate. Year-end CSV ready for your accountant or your 1099 filings. No receipt-shoebox at tax time, for you or the band.
This is the part nobody else has built. Change a field on a gig — call time, venue, dress, personnel, anything — and within seconds it's reflected on every musician's calendar, in every musician's text inbox, and on every musician's email confirmation. Diff-aware so you only ping on what actually changed.
The web app is the source of truth. Every edit becomes a revision. We compare to the last state we notified from — and only fire on fields that actually changed.
No “nothing changed but you got a text anyway” moments. No phone calls from the bass player asking which downbeat is real.
No fluff. Side by side, against how working bandleaders are running their gigs today.
No tiered confusion, no per-musician fees, no nickel-and-diming on SMS. Your musicians never pay a cent — the member portal is free for them, always.
14-day free trial. No card required. Your musicians never pay.
