How it works
From hello to headliner
- 01
Find each other
Search for venues or acts nearby. Filter by genre, budget, travel distance, event type and whether the room is indoor or outdoor. The best fits come first.
- 02
Talk page to page
Message any musician or venue straight from their page. Booking offers show up as cards in the same thread, so the whole story stays in one place.
- 03
Make the deal
Send a request with date, time and pay. The other side can accept, decline or counter. Once both agree, the show goes on both calendars, and a band can never be double-booked.
Two sides of the stage
Built for both ends of the deal
For musicians
- One page for your act, with genres, sound, rates and how far you’ll travel.
- See which venues want what you play, and what they pay.
- Counter an offer instead of starting over.
- Every confirmed gig lands on one calendar, with no clashes.
For venues
- Claim your venue’s page and tell acts what you’re looking for.
- Bring your whole team. Owners and booking managers each get their own login.
- Fill a date fast: find acts in your budget and send a request in a few taps.
- Host more than one act a night, with every booking in one place.

FAQ
Good to know
- When does Harmony Highway launch?
- We’re building it now. It will launch first in Des Moines on iPhone and Android, and the roadmap above shows what comes first.
- Do I have to be in Des Moines?
- No. Des Moines is where we launch and where we’re adding venues first, but anyone can sign up from anywhere.
- What does it cost?
- Founding musician and venue pages are free during the founding period. We’ll post pricing well before that period ends. Replying to messages, accepting bookings and editing your page stay free.
- My venue is already listed. Is that okay?
- We list Des Moines venues from public data so musicians can find them. Claim the page to manage it, or ask us to remove it, and we won’t list it again.
- I just want to find live music. Is that coming?
- Yes. After launch the app will include a public “live music near me” search, built from real confirmed shows. No account needed.
