Post the gap.Play the service.
Emergency Musician is a two-sided marketplace. Churches post the position they need covered; vetted local musicians respond with availability and a rate. Everything after that — setlist, confirmation, payment — happens in the app.
From a hole in the lineup to a confirmed player
Instrument, date, call time, venue, and budget. Under a minute, or pulled straight from a Planning Center plan.
Musicians nearby respond with availability and a rate. Each one shows ratings, instruments, and past bookings.
Accept one offer and the setlist, charts, and notes go out automatically. Chat lives in the booking.
Payment releases after the service. Leave a rating so the next church knows who showed up ready.
Post for tomorrow morning or for a Sunday six weeks out.
No auto-assignment. Nobody is booked until you accept them.
Save musicians who fit your room and invite them directly next time.
Gigs that fit your calendar and your chops
Set your instruments, your radius, and your rate. We only send you gigs you can actually play.
Instruments, styles, gear, audio or video samples, and the traditions you’re comfortable in.
We check experience, chart-reading, and references before you’re visible to churches.
Alerts show the position, call time, venue, and pay. Accept and the setlist arrives with it.
Payment is held before the service and pays out after it. No chasing the church office.
