Regional artist onboarding walkthrough
Fast onboarding for the weekend performer. No tour-routing complexity — just what you need to book repeat gigs close to home.
When you'd use this
You signed up as a regional performer and want the fastest path to finding gigs in your area.
Steps
- Set your home base — exact city, not just metro region. See Setting your home base and radius.
- Set your travel radius — how far you'll drive for a gig. Default 100 miles; tune to your tolerance.
- Set availability preferences — weekends only? Thursdays? Blackout weeks? See Setting availability preferences.
- Add the act(s) you're in — cover band, wedding band, solo, etc. Up to 2 acts on the Regional tier.
- Set your expected draw on your act — the honest number, not the hopeful one. Weekend Finder's fit scores are built on it; without a draw, venues show unranked.
That's it. 5 minutes. Weekend Finder appears in your sidebar (right after your gigs) for regional accounts.
What unlocks for you
- Weekend Finder — every venue in your radius, ranked by fit for your act, with shortlist + pitch built in
- Quick P&L calculator — log a gig, see net in seconds
- Mileage auto-log — IRS rate per mile, ready for your Schedule C
- Receipt photo capture — snap, tag, it's in your ledger
- Year-over-year earnings — compare seasons, markets, venues
What's NOT on the regional tier
- The AI Router (touring tool, not useful for single-gig bookings)
- Multi-stop tour management
- Public tour page
- Team seats (upgrade to Touring tier to add bandmates)
Still stuck?
- Weekend Finder showing venues without scores? Your act has no expected draw set — that's what powers the ranking. See Why you're not seeing matches.
