Beneath the glow of the robots, there is a way forward. But we must gather together in person.

Thank you for your interest in how this site came about. This page may be updated frequently as the project progresses.
As a musician who loves watching my friends play, I face constant problems finding their gigs. Instagram hides their reels in a sea of influencer garbage. Their posts show up 3 days after the event. This is ridiculous and unacceptable!
I believe we as artists deserve an alternative to shouting into the endless noise of ads and bots on Social Media. So I developed this calendar.
It represents a purposeful split from the world of Social Media in that all artists are treated equally. When your fans search for your shows, they aren't presented with ads for competing events. At the same time, fans are free to find you wherever you are playing, due to the calendar's clever musician tagging system. Regardless of your overall popularity in the music universe, your fans can find you easily.
As an artist, what is your time worth? What is the payoff for your actions? Consider these two alternatives.
Option 1 - Post your flyer on Social Media. Facebook and Instagram will throw your post into an infinitely huge, churning ad machine. Maybe your fans will see it. Personally I miss them all the time. Perhaps it'll be seen by lots and lots of people.
Immediately after a potential attendee sees your flyer for a second, the next logical action on Social Media is to hit Like and continue scrolling. I want to emphasize that point. Social Media is purposely designed to immediately distract your fans, making them forget your gig and continue on the endless scrolling through random topics.
Option 2 - Post your show on the calendar, and it instantly creates a personalized promotional website for you to send people to.
On the calendar, the next actions for fans to take are directly related to your concert. They can share it, add it to their calendar, see all your future shows at all venues, see all other shows at the venue, or go home and see other calendar events.
No Like button. No distractions. And did I mention no ads?
There are lots of other cool features. For example, attendees can actually subscribe to your events and have all of your future gigs automatically get added to their calendars on Google, Apple, Outlook, etc. They can instantly see all of your other future shows on one page. And all of this is provided to them without any sponsored by or sign up now junk added to your promotional material, no collection of data, and no bots or social media influencers shouting over you.
And of course, none of this prevents you from posting the same link directly to Social Media as well.
It is my personal belief that being of service to others and putting good into the world is the right matter of course, regardless of personal gain. That is why I have created this as the fruit of my personal passions and finances. It is my gift to my brothers and sisters who play music and for all the people who, like me, love to watch them.
No ads. No algorithms. No influencers. Just the tools you need to connect with people in real life. The calendar portal is free for everyone to use. Post your gigs, share your link, and let your fans know where to find you. Promotion or highlighting of one artist or event over another is impossible on this site. Please don't ask... you'd be missing the entire point.
Create an event in seconds. Share a public link. That’s it. No endless scrolling, no competing with bots, and no ads burying your posts. It’s free, it’s simple, and it’s for you.
