Play the room, not the room number.
Side Door is a way to book shows in spaces that were never meant to be venues — and that's exactly why they work. No booking agent, no minimum bar spend, no playing to a room that's half looking at their phone.
Built for the tour that doesn't have a tour bus
A calendar, not a cold email
Set your route and your open dates. Hosts along the way can find and request you directly instead of you chasing venues that never write back.
You set the door price
Every room is different. You decide the suggested price per seat for that specific show, and adjust it show by show.
One list, not three group chats
RSVPs, capacity, and check-in for the night live in one place, shared with the host — no more texting a spreadsheet back and forth.
Hosts who already picked your genre
Hosts list the kind of night they want — quiet and acoustic, loud and full-band, spoken word, whatever it is. You show up in the right search, not every search.
Reviewed rooms, not blind bookings
Host spaces are described honestly — seating, sound limits, parking, load-in — before you ever say yes to the date.
Fill the gaps in a real tour
Stack Side Door shows around the dates you already have booked, so the drive between two festival slots pays for the gas.
From application to first show
Build your artist profile
Links to your music, a short bio, your typical set size, and the regions you're able to play. This is what hosts see first.
A real listen, not a bot
Every application gets reviewed before it goes live in search, so the artists hosts find have already been vetted.
Request rooms or get requested
Search open hosts along your route, or wait for requests to land based on your profile and availability.
Show up and play the room
Door price, guest list, and check-in are already handled. You focus on the set.
Your next show could be someone's living room.
