Free to request. Custom per opportunity.
Musicians Wanted NOW is a request network, not a fixed price list. Submitting a request is free. Compensation is set per opportunity and confirmed with the professionals you choose inside your NationStage Event Workspace.
Musician compensation varies widely by role, experience, commitment, and travel. Rather than publish a rate that will not match your project, we collect your requirements and surface professionals whose rates fit what you described.
What affects price
A single session player, a full rhythm section, or a touring lineup all price differently.
Emerging, working professional, or touring and session veterans with major credits.
One performance, a recording block, a residency, a rehearsal cycle, or a full tour.
Rehearsal count, length, charts, and prep time all factor into professional rates.
Local, regional, or national travel, plus lodging, per diem, and load-in requirements.
Paid, revenue share, expenses covered, or negotiable, plus overtime and production add-ons.
How payment works
- No payment is collected on this website's request form.
- Quotes, deposits, invoices, and checkout or payment happen inside NationStage after you review matched options.
- You are never charged for submitting a request or for reviewing responses.
Your private Event Workspace is where proposals, messaging, quotes, deposits, and invoices live. Deposit, cancellation, refund, overtime, travel, and production terms are confirmed there before any checkout or invoice payment.
