Riffer Music is a trusted community marketplace for people and businesses to discover and book local musicians for any occasion and location. Our custom-made platform simplifies concert organization, which would otherwise be time-consuming and frustrating. We also handle the reservation of funds for the event and the transfer of funds to the artist after the event is completed. In addition, we save all agreements between the artist and venue to ensure all terms and conditions are met, including a cancellation policy.
Our principle is simple: we all succeed when the concert is successful. As a result, the platform is free to use for everyone, and our pricing model is fair for both parties. Artists do not pay anything, while event coordinators cover the fees.
For Venues/Event Coordinators
1. Find a Musician
With Riffer Music you can easily find a musician that best suits your event, taste, and budget!
2. Check Artist Availability and Open Dialog
Use the calendar to check the availability of the artist and contact them to discuss the details for your event. Your profile page has a dashboard with all the information you’ll need to manage the event.
3. Book and pay
Click on “Book an Artist”, wait for the reservation to be accepted, and then reserve the funds for the event within 24 hours of the accepted booking to confirm the show! Riffer Music protects both the client and the artist by holding 100% of the show’s value, including fees, at the time of booking. The funds are reserved after the booking is accepted and are released to the artist 24 hours after the concert ends, eliminating concerns about cancellations or no-shows.
