The band leader and music director app
Being the music director means you're the one everyone texts. SetBook is a band leader app built for people who run multiple projects and multiple lineups: separate libraries per band, availability at a glance when you're booking, roles and pay assigned on the invite, and one button to update everyone at once — on web or mobile.
You're juggling availability for 15 musicians across multiple bands and projects. Everyone wants to know the call time. Half of them keep texting you for the chord chart you sent yesterday.
How SetBook helps
- ✓Create a Band for each project (corporate, jazz trio, soul band) with separate libraries so the wrong charts don't show up at the wrong gig.
- ✓When booking a gig, SetBook shows you each musician's availability based on their other gigs in the system — so you know who's actually free before you call.
- ✓Invite your usual lineup with the right roles and pay assigned. The setlist and chart library are already there, so you don't have to email anyone a thing.
- ✓Use the Message Band feature to send last-minute updates by email or SMS to everyone on the gig at once.
Why not a spreadsheet and a group chat?
A spreadsheet can't tell you the drummer already took another gig that night, and a group chat can't attach the right chart library to the right project. When you MD three bands from one phone, SetBook keeps each project's songs, people, and pay separate — and puts availability, invites, and updates one tap away.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see which musicians are free before I book a gig?
Yes. When you're booking, SetBook shows each musician's availability based on the other gigs they already have in the system — so you call the people who can actually say yes.
Can I run multiple bands without mixing up their charts?
Yes. Each Band has its own chart library, setlists, and members. Your jazz trio never sees the corporate band's book, and vice versa.
How do I send a last-minute change to everyone on the gig?
Use Message Band to send an update by email or SMS to everyone on the gig at once — no copy-pasting into three different threads.
