We created Venuology to help musicians share information about music venues — alerting them to clubs that don’t treat musicians well, and also those that do. With this website, we hope musicians will have an easier time deciding where to perform — and as a result, that venues will feel more pressure to improve pay, sound quality or other problems.

The reviews on this site are written by our users — in other words, musicians! Venue reviews are subjective and you’re the best judge of the credibility of each review. Any musician can review a venue they’ve played at — joining Venuology is free and anonymous.

Venuology is a project of the American Federation of Musicians, a labor union representing over 60,000 musicians of all genres in North America.
