Freelance Gig Database
Greater-NYC Area
We’ve all been there…
it’s been 3 months and you haven’t been paid yet,
the rehearsal venue is freezing,
conductor is saying things they really shouldn’t…
it’s time to hold them accountable.
Freelance Gig Database: Greater-NYC Area
The freelance gig database is a free resource available to all musicians in the Greater-NYC area. This database uses your feedback about gigs to compile valuable information for fellow freelancers!
In the database, you can find information including average pay rates, wage discrepancies, and ancillary information such as if the gig paid on time, had personnel issues, and was overall recommended by fellow freelancers. Musicians are welcome to use this information to decide if they want to take a gig or if it isn’t quite worth it.
This database can only function with your support - we need you to provide feedback about your gigs! Tell us the good, bad, and ugly.
Click the “Submit Feedback” button above to navigate to the submission form where you can tell us all about your gig. Please be sure to submit feedback about your good gigs too! For this database to work, we need a wide range of feedback so tell us about gigs you enjoyed playing too so other musicians can know they are friendly and supportive to musicians.
Click the “See the Results!” button above to see compiled information on everyone’s feedback. First, you will see a guide page that describes how the data can be interpreted. The second tab will provide the actual information, updated weekly. This information is essential to building a better, stronger freelance community that is informed and empowered to fight for better wages and working conditions. Happy gigging!
