BANDANA - indie bands & venues

BANDANA is a free app for indie bands and independent music venues to run shows together. Bands organize songs, set lists, and rehearsals. Venues run a booking calendar, open mics, and ticketing. Both sides meet on the same gig page, so nothing gets lost between the booking email and the stage. No per-member charge, no trial, no card. Sign in with a magic link or Google — no passwords. FOR BANDS - Songs with the chords sitting above the lyric they belong to, not in a separate document. - Set lists you build by dragging songs into order, with a "maybe" section for undecided ones. Export to PDF or share a read-only link with a sub who has no account. - Chord transposition across all twelve keys, with automatic key detection and slash-chord support. - Hands-free auto-scroll for reading lyrics and chords while you play. - Rehearsal recordings: record or upload audio per song, download as MP3, and keep listening with your phone locked. - Rehearsal scheduling by time-slot voting and per-band availability. - Gig advances: run of show, bios, photos, stage plots, and guest lists in one page you send to the venue. FOR VENUES - A shared booking calendar with open and closed dates, request review, bills, and staff roles. - An embeddable booking form and event calendar for your own website. - Open mic and open jam sign-ups with song submissions, lock windows, and a house band. - Ticketing built straight from the gig advance — a ticket page made out of the advance you already wrote, paid into your own Stripe. ON IPHONE - Set lists and songs you have opened stay readable offline, so a dead signal at the venue does not cost you the show. - Rehearsal audio keeps playing when your phone is locked or you switch apps. Bands are private and invite-only — there is no public directory. BANDANA is free to use. When a venue sells tickets, the revenue goes straight into its own connected Stripe account — BANDANA only takes a flat 25 cents per ticket, with no percentage of the ticket price and no monthly fee. Stripe charges its own standard processing rate, and each ticket can either absorb these fees into the listed price or pass them to the buyer at checkout. Made for gigging musicians, bookers, and DIY venues who would rather play the show than manage the spreadsheet.
