Find Musicians in Montreal, QC
Montreal is one of the most celebrated indie scenes on earth: Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and a Mile End community that draws artists from everywhere, in the city of Leonard Cohen. Bandry connects it, local-first.
Why Bandry
Built for finding people locally.
Local, not regional
Radius-filtered means you see people who can actually make it to your rehearsal, not someone hours away.
The full music chain
Studios, mixing engineers, photographers, videographers, designers. Everything to take a project from rehearsal to release.
Direct contact, always
No in-app messaging to babysit. Link up, and they reach out to you directly. Off-platform, on your terms.
The scene
Montreal has the depth.
An indie capital
From Arcade Fire to Godspeed, Montreal's scene is world-renowned. Find collaborators by role and radius.
The Mile End
The neighborhood that anchors one of the great creative scenes. The bulletin finds the people; the Resources tab maps the rooms.
A magnet for artists
Cheap rent and deep culture draw musicians from everywhere. Role posts fit whatever you're making.
On the ground
Where Montreal plays.
A quick map of the Montreal scene: the indie-reachable rooms and the shops that keep it running. Bandry connects you to the players who fill them, and the Resources tab pins the rest near you.

Finding musicians in Montreal
How do I find musicians in Montreal?
Post what you're looking for on Bandry's Montreal bulletin and set your reach to local. Musicians within your radius see it, and when someone's interested they link up, sharing their contact info so you can reach out directly and take it off-platform. No DMs and no inbox to manage.
Is Bandry free to use in Montreal?
Reading the Montreal bulletin and endorsing posts are free forever. Posting your own ad and linking up run on a subscription, $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, after a 14-day free trial of everything. Bandry never takes a cut of any gig or arrangement you work out.
What kinds of musicians and pros are on Bandry in Montreal?
All of them: drummers, guitarists, bassists, singers, and keyboard players, plus producers, mixing and mastering engineers, photographers, videographers, designers, and studios. Montreal's scene runs deep, and role-based posts cover the whole chain from forming a band to finishing a record.
How close are the Montreal musicians Bandry shows me?
As close as you set. Bandry's local posts are radius-gated on both sides, so you only see people who can realistically make it to a rehearsal or session, whether that's across Montreal or out into the rest of Quebec.
