GigPenguin
Gig scheduling software for bandleaders
A bandleader writes a gig sheet once, and each band member gets their own link by email or text with the date, venue, pay, and one tap to confirm.
About this launch
GigPenguin automates gig communication for bandleaders. Instead of texting multiple band members separately, a bandleader creates one gig sheet with the date, venue, pay, attire, and load-in time. Each band member receives their own private link by email or text and confirms with one tap, with no app or account required.
The bandleader can see who has read the sheet and who has confirmed. When details change, all band members are notified automatically with the specific change and reason. GigPenguin also handles rehearsal scheduling by letting band members indicate which proposed times work for them, and manages payment tracking without moving money directly.
