Setting your band profile

Your band profile is the first thing a venue booker sees in your inquiry. Get it right.

When you'd use this

You're in onboarding or fixing your profile after realizing the guarantee offers you're getting don't match your actual draw.

Band name. What you book under. What venues see.
Genre tags. Pick 1–3. Used by the Router + Weekend Finder to match you with venues that program your sound. "indie rock" is better than "rock"; "Americana" and "folk" can coexist.
Home city. The anchor point for tour routing. Used as the drive-cost zero-point for the Router. Be specific (Nashville, TN not Nashville).
Home base radius. How far from home you're comfortable going for single gigs (used by Weekend Finder). 100 miles is typical.
Draw estimate. Honest number. How many tickets you can reliably sell in a core market? This sets the venue-capacity range Mintoor recommends. Overstating it = you pitch rooms you'll play to half-empty; understating = you leave guarantee money on the table.
Years active. How long you've been touring. Venues use this as a signal.
Press quotes / major support slots. Optional. Adds credibility to cold pitches.

Look at the last 3 non-home-city shows you played.
Take the median attendance.
That's your draw for cold-market pitches.
Your home-city draw can be 2–3x this — include that as a separate "home-city draw" field.

Don't use home-city draw as your main number. A first-time booker in Cleveland only cares about what you pull in Cleveland.

Can't find a genre that fits? Use the closest match and email us to add a new tag. We curate the genre list to prevent fragmentation.
Draw fluctuates wildly? Pick a conservative median. You can always negotiate up per-show if you hit a hot market.
