About The Founder

Find the right local musicians for every show in minutes - not weeks

GigUp is a web-based marketplace where regional headliners quickly discover vetted local players, book directly, and keep more of every gig

Built by working musicians & touring artists

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Post Your Gig

Share date, city, budget, and what you need—bass, horns, subs, or full band.

2. Review vetted musicianas 

Browse local profiles with audio, video, and ratings from other touring artists.

3. Book & Play

Lock in your lineup, pay musicians directly, and GigUp takes a small commission.

FOUNDER

"Built by a working musician who lives this problem." - Solomon Jaye

After 15+ years performing regional theaters, performing arts centers, cruise ships, and balancing life as a tap dancer, singer, and parent, our founder kept encountering the same problem: ‘Finding the right local players for each date takes forever.’ GigUp was born to fix that for the touring artists and working musicians who make live music possible.
