Our History

Gigmasters.com was founded in February of 1997 by three New York City music enthusiasts - Kevin H. Kinyon, Michael Caldwell, and Alfred Freund. Their mission was to create a perfectly organized search engine of actively gigging musicians - a Yellow Pages of sorts, which would be used by those needing to locate and hire live music. 25,000 musicians and entertainers later, Gigmasters had evolved into the Internet's premiere booking service for live music and entertainment. The company incorporated in January 2000, and the Gigmasters booking service for live entertainment was born.

Gigmasters Today

Gigmasters is now the Internet's preeminent live entertainment booking service with over 200,000 previous and current users located throughout the United States and Canada. Gigmasters offers professional event planners and buyers of entertainment the ability to hire live bands, singers, pianists, jazz trios, string quartets, harpists, DJ's, comedians, magicians, clowns, hypnotists, and dozens of others. Customers save time and money because they can contact an unlimited number of entertainers with just one click of the mouse, then watch as the entertainers bid in order to get hired for the job.
