How GrassGigs Works
Automatically discovering bluegrass and grassroots music events
Bands Share Their Websites
Bluegrass and grassroots bands register with GrassGigs and provide their official website URL where they post tour dates and show information.
We work directly with bands to ensure we're getting information from official sources.
We Check for Updates Monthly
Once a month, our system visits each band's website to check for new show announcements and tour dates.
This automated process ensures you always see the latest events without bands having to manually update multiple platforms.
AI Extracts Event Details
Using advanced AI technology, we read through each band's website and identify concert information including venue names, locations, dates, and times.
Our AI is trained to understand different website formats and extract accurate event details.
Events Are Verified & Mapped
Each event is verified to prevent duplicates, geocoded to show on our interactive map, and organized by date and location.
We use smart matching to ensure the same event isn't listed multiple times, even if details vary slightly.
You Discover Great Shows
Browse all upcoming bluegrass and grassroots events in one place. Search by band, location, or date to find shows near you.
No more visiting dozens of band websites individually - we bring all the events to you!
