The merch person behind a folding merch table at a rock club, smiling at her phone

No app to download.
Just text it.

Meet Jess.

She runs merch, settles the table at 1 AM, and hasn't opened a day sheet since March. When she needs load-in, the hotel, or how many black hoodies are left in the online store, she texts the band's number. Sometimes she just sends a voice note.

That's BandBrain.

Text or voice note. Tour, merch, money, guest lists. Free during beta.

Text it or send a voice note. It answers, remembers, and passes it on to whoever needs it.


Never read a day sheet again.

Everyone on the roster texts the band's number. That's the whole experience.

01

Ask it anything about the band.

Schedules, hotels, guest lists, merch, what the promoter said in that email three weeks ago. Everyone gets an answer in seconds instead of asking you.

02

Tell it something, and the whole team knows.

Text it or send a voice note when you learn something. It's saved, and anyone who asks later gets the answer, even if they never saw your message.

Have it reach people for you.

Tell it who to text and what to say. It shows you exactly what's going out and who gets it, and nothing sends until you say yes.

Need to go deeper?

The same brain that answers “what time is load-in” can run real analysis on your whole business: tour data, merch, store sales, books and files at once.

  • “Project final ticket sales for every show based on the last two weeks.”
  • “Work out bus calls for the whole tour. 50 mph, arrive by 8:30, watch the time zones.”
  • “Break down our profit and loss by month since January.”
  • “What did we spend on hotels and fuel this run, and where did it go over?”
