The honest pitch

You can write great songs and still starve.

Venues book the same five acts because finding new ones is friction. Booking agents take 15-25%. “Submit your music” portals charge you to be ignored. Promotion is a part-time job by itself, unless you can write a $500/month check to a publicist.

None of this is a hard problem anymore. The data exists. The connections exist. The tools just hadn't been built — until this year.

So I built them.

The three tools

Three apps. One mission. Cut out everyone who takes a piece.

Use one. Use all three. No accounts to link, no upsell traps. Each tool stands alone — together they replace what an agent, a publicist, and a tour manager used to cost.

Who built this

One developer. No VCs to please.

I'm an independent developer who's been close enough to the music industry to see what musicians actually deal with — and how often the “solutions” from big platforms make it worse, not better.

These three tools are what I wished existed for the musicians I know. No paywalls on the parts that should be free. No algorithm-rigged feeds. No “Pro tier” gating the basics.

If you're a musician, a venue booker, or just curious — open any of the three. Send feedback. I read every email.

Pricing — the honest version

The free tier is the product.

No bait-and-switch. No “sign up now, we'll charge you in 14 days.” The browse experience is free across all three. Where there's a paid tier, it's for power users doing bulk work — and clearly disclosed up front.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions worth answering up front.

What is Live Music Network Hub?
Live Music Network Hub is the home for three free tools built for working musicians: FindLiveTalent (a two-sided marketplace where venues book artists directly), MusicPromoNetwork (a directory of music-promotion outlets including groups, forums, podcasts, and indie music sites), and US Live Music Venues (a database of 11,752 US venues with real booking emails). Use any one. Use all three. No accounts to link.
Is it free?
Yes — the free tier is the product, not a teaser. FindLiveTalent is free for both musicians and venues, forever. US Live Music Venues lets you browse and search every venue for free, with an optional $29/month Pro tier for bulk export. MusicPromoNetwork has a free tier with optional Pro upgrades for power users. Nothing is bait-and-switch — pricing is disclosed on each tool's page.
How is this different from a booking agent or a music distributor?
Booking agents take 15-25% of every gig you book. Distributors charge yearly fees and bury you in algorithm-driven feeds. Live Music Network Hub doesn't sit between you and the outcome. It surfaces the venues, the promotion outlets, and the booking connections directly — you do the outreach, you keep the money, you own the relationships.
Who built this?
An independent developer who got tired of watching musician friends with great songs go nowhere because the tooling around them was extractive or broken. No VCs, no agencies, no team — just three focused products built to solve real problems. Email ceo@theappmakerpro.com for feedback or partnership.
Do I need to sign up for all three tools?
No. Each tool stands alone with its own free account. There is no shared login (yet). Most musicians start with FindLiveTalent to get a profile up, then come back for MusicPromoNetwork when they have a show to promote, then US Live Music Venues when they're ready to plan a tour.
What kind of musicians is this for?
Independent and self-managed musicians at any stage: solo artists, bands, DJs, cover acts, original acts, touring acts, weekend warriors. If you're not signed to a major label and you don't have a booking agent doing your outreach, these tools are built for you. Genre doesn't matter — country, rock, pop, hip-hop, indie, folk, electronic, jazz are all represented in the venue and promo catalogs.
Which countries does this cover?
US Live Music Venues covers the United States — all 50 states + DC, 11,752 venues. FindLiveTalent and MusicPromoNetwork have broader catalogs that work internationally but are most useful in North America today. International expansion is planned post-launch.
