On the map, in the app
Find music venues near you.
Bandry's Resources tab maps the rooms around you, live from Apple Maps, so you can scout where to play. Then link up with the promoters and venue owners on the bulletin to book the show. The room and the people who book it, one app.
The rooms
Venues near you, pulled live.
Tap Venues in the Resources tab and the map fills with the rooms around you, directions a tap away. Live from Apple Maps, so it's current and works in any city, whether you're scouting your home scene or routing an out-of-town run.
What to weigh
Match the room to the night.
Capacity and fit
Pick a room you can fill. A full 50-cap beats an empty 300-cap, for the night and for getting asked back. Build the draw, then move up.
Sound and backline
Ask what's provided: PA, a sound engineer, backline, the load-in. Knowing what you carry versus what's there saves a rough night before it starts.
The right night
A genre night with the right crowd beats a random Tuesday. Ask the booker who else is on the bill and which nights fit your sound.
The people, not just the place
Find the booker, not just the room.
Promoters and venue owners are on the bulletin. Link up to pitch your act directly, or post that you're looking for a gig and let the bookers come to you. The map shows the rooms; the board has the people who fill the calendar.

Finding music venues
How do I find music venues near me to play?
Open Bandry's Resources tab and tap Venues. It pulls the rooms around you live from Apple Maps, with the address and directions a tap away, so you can scout where to play in any city. Then use the bulletin to reach the people who actually book those rooms.
How do I get booked at a venue?
Find the room first, then find the person. Promoters and venue owners are on Bandry's bulletin, so you can link up directly and pitch your act off-platform. You can also post that you're a band looking for a gig and let the bookers come to you. The linkup is the intro, no cold DMs.
What size venue should my band play?
Match the room to the draw you can realistically pull. A 50-cap room that's full beats a 300-cap room that's empty, both for the night and for the booker's willingness to have you back. Start where you can fill it, build a track record, then move up.
Can I find a promoter or booker on Bandry?
Yes. Promoter is one of the roles you can search on the bulletin. Find the venues on the map, then find the people who book them on the board, link up, and take it from there. No follower counts, just real bookers in your scene.
What should I have ready before I reach out?
Have your music a tap away and a press kit ready, since that's the first thing a booker asks for. Bandry builds an electronic press kit right in the app, with your music, photos, shows, and press on one clean link, so when a venue says send me your stuff you already have it.
