Part of 02 · Research artists and venues

Start with the whole country. End with a shortlist.

Four live dashboards and nine shareable reports, all reading the same weekly-refreshed dataset. Scope any of them to the nation, a state or a region, and the numbers follow.

Dashboards

Four ways to read a market.

From the national picture down to your own venue. Every tile is a live query, and every number can be traced to the rows behind it.

national-overview
National Overview: shows tracked, venues indexed, genre momentum, booking seasonality, regional split

The state of live music. Shows, venues, artists, cities and festivals at a glance, then genre momentum, booking seasonality, regional split and venue tiers by capacity. Switch the window to 30 days, 90 days or the year.

national-insights
National Insights: headline findings and the venue type mix

What the numbers reveal. Three headline findings the data is shouting, then the venue type mix, supply gaps and price transparency, straight from the live database. No modelled projections.

artist-dashboard
Artist Dashboard: most-booked acts ranked by shows, and genre demand

Who is being booked. A market read written by your AI Assistant, then the most-booked acts by bookings, reach or season, filtered by genre, next to genre demand for the whole scope.

venue-console
Venue Console: your venue against the market, with a priority signal and booking opportunities

Your venue against the market. Pick your venue and the console reads it: rank in the city, open nights, the most-booked acts nearby, genre gaps you could own, and a Priority Signal written from what changed this week.

Reports

Nine reports meant to be shared, not queried.

Leaderboards, trend lines and market snapshots built from the same live data, each with an AI-written takeaway and a clean print layout. Pick a state and every report narrows to it.

Top Venues report
Leaderboard

Top Venues

The booking-volume leaderboard with lineup diversity beside it. How many distinct artists a venue has actually hosted, not just how many shows.

Top Artists report
Leaderboard

Top Artists

The most-booked acts with reach alongside volume: how many distinct venues and cities an act has actually played.

State Rankings report
Per capita

State Rankings

All 51 markets side by side, sized against each state’s own population so a small state punching above its weight shows as clearly as a big one coasting.

Sound Map of America report
Infographic

Sound Map of America

Each state’s most-booked genre on one map, with regional signatures and state superlatives. Untagged listings excluded so the map shows real signal.

Season Ahead report
Forward-looking

Season Ahead

What is already on the books for the coming months, by month, genre, market and weeknight. The forward calendar, not last year’s.

Market vs Market report
Head-to-head

Market vs Market

Pick two states and compare them side by side: shows, venues, artists, festivals, genre mix, seasonality and top cities.

Festival Circuit report
Music + community

Festival Circuit

The biggest festivals on the circuit, music and community both, ranked by how often they come back and how big a crowd they draw.

Community Pulse report
Beyond music

Community Pulse

Fairs, festivals, sports, arts and civic events: the non-music calendar that competes for the same Saturday night, and who runs it.

Top Community Events report
Recurring draws

Top Community Events

Farmers markets, storytimes, leagues and fairs ranked by how often they recur and the crowd they pull, not a one-off headcount.

Your dashboard

The week, already read.

A personal dashboard merges your tours, tasks, favorites and alerts into one screen, and your AI Assistant writes the week's briefing across the top. Listen to it read aloud if you are on the move.

  • ✓Alerts. Watch a venue, a market or an artist and get told when something changes. Summary metrics, the most active entities and weekly volume, not just a flat list.
  • ✓Favorites feed the pipeline. Every venue or act you star during research shows up as a lead in the Booking Pipeline, ready for the next step.
  • ✓Weekly digest by email. The same briefing, delivered.
You leave with
