Newly launched
Every booking runs on Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
Browse venues and musicians for free. You only pay when a gig is confirmed.
One transparent booking fee on the venue side. No subscriptions, ever.
Pick a date, set your hours, name your pay rate, describe the vibe. Your listing is live in under two minutes.
Browse musician profiles, watch their videos, read their pitch. You decide who steps on your stage.
Confirm the booking and Drum Up handles payment after the gig. You focus on your guests.
What makes us different
After the gig ends, the money moves. Stripe sends funds directly to the musician. No chasing, no invoicing, no awkward cash.
Platform fee
Charged to the venue at confirmation. Nothing hidden, nothing extra.
No email tag. Close the deal in one thread.
Who this is for
Not agencies. Not booking managers. A solo guitarist in Philly and a neighborhood bistro looking for a Friday night set. Both deserve a real tool.
Cost to join
Free to join, free to browse. Pay only when a gig is confirmed.
Musician profiles
Bio, videos, social links, past venues, genre tags. Everything a booker needs to say yes in 60 seconds, without you sending a single email attachment.

For musicians
Stop chasing bookings through DMs and cold emails. Drum Up shows you every open slot near you, lets you apply in seconds, and pays you automatically after you perform.
For restaurants
You know which nights need a lift. Post a slot in two minutes and let Drum Up surface musicians who fit your room, not just whoever happens to be available.
Questions
Everything runs through Stripe. The venue is charged when a booking is confirmed, the funds are held, and the musician is paid automatically after the gig is performed. No invoices, no cash, no chasing.
Joining and browsing are free. When a booking is confirmed, the venue pays a flat 8% booking fee — that is our only charge. There are no subscriptions or listing fees.
Because the payout is only released after the gig is performed, nobody is left out of pocket. Cancelled bookings release the hold, and our team can step in if anything needs sorting.
Independent musicians and the restaurants, cafés, and bars that book them — plus fans who want to follow venues and discover live music nearby. No agencies or middlemen required.
No. Drum Up matches venues and musicians by distance, so it works wherever you are. The more people nearby, the richer your feed of gigs and talent.
