Built for working musicians

We know how hard it is to be a working musician. Ready Set Shows brings the busy work into one place: availability, setlists, booking requests, income tracking, paid audience requests, and promotion that actually gets done.
SetMaxx
Max out each room with paid requests, tips, card and Venmo options, email signups, reviews, and song suggestions for future shows.
Finance
Track every gig, import past income, reconcile payouts, and finally see how your music business is actually doing.
Publishing
Never skimp on promotion. Generate posts, captions, newsletters, and date-list copy for your upcoming shows in a few clicks.
