The Gig Hunter was founded by two former college roommates at Berklee College of Music, Zac Delvecchio, and Hunter LaMar. Almost every weekend during the busy season, Zac and Hunter found themself posting to Facebook or Instagram to find qualified performers to work with for short-notice gigs. Frustrated by always having to turn to social media, a solution was made to streamline connections between professional musicians.
The Gig Hunter is a one-stop-shop for musicians to be prepared for whatever gig they may get hired for: organizing bandmates, setlists, and calendar availability,” plus a number of other functions to make the platform as helpful as possible.
The Gig Hunter was created with musicians in mind; the goal is to be easy to use while maintaining competitive functionality. This is for the wedding band leader, the trumpet player looking for a sub for their restaurant gig, the keyboardist looking for new friends to jam with, and anyone else ready to make music together. Find Your Gig, Run Your Band.
The Gig Hunter is for any musician looking for more work. (Let’s be honest, that’s all of us!) We built our platform with music directors, entertainment agencies, and individual musicians in mind but anyone searching for musicians for an event will find a use for our platform.
All the gigs posted on The Gig Hunter are user generated. We’re a tool to connect you with your network. As our subscriber base grows in different areas we’re sure more gigs will pop up for you!
The Gig Hunter is simple and has functionality built to support you from gig to gig! Whether you’re searching for a gig or looking for someone to play a gig, this is a one-stop solution to finding people to work with. Other sites are more geared towards social media, collaboration, and diversifying functionality for users across many stages of the creative process. We seek to be a simple tool to help you play more gigs and keep you organized on the band stand.
Our tiered subscription system was designed to be affordable and give you the functionality you personally need. If you find yourself constantly searching for musicians then the premium membership is for you. If you are a working musician who sometimes needs a sub, then the regular membership will be enough.
We appreciate you being an early adopter of our platform! We plan on expanding to phone apps but wanted to test out our functionality on a smaller scale first. Please tell your friends to sign up with your discount code, and we can move quicker on bringing the phone app your way!
