After being online for just about 19 months GETAGIG.com is offering all musicians, bands and specialty performers in the tri-state area of New York a great way to network and present themselves for gig possibilities. With its founders, Louis J. Villano and Jerry Sheer, both veterans in the private entertainment field for over 30 years, they are giving all Performing Artists who enroll on GETAGIG a unique and cost effective way to make themselves available to music agencies, music and entertainment contractors, private party bands, and other performers, a networking tool to personalize there talents over the Internet. Years ago the New York Musicians Union (Local 802) had what they called the "Union Floor".

Every Wednesday the musicians and agencies/contractors meet on this big floor at the Union headquarters. There, musicians and bands were offered weekend gigs by the music contractors and agencies. Villano and Sheer have now taken that concept and put it on the Internet. With the addition of GETAGIGs newest feature, the WEEKEND HOT LIST, its members can now post there availability for a coming weekend so the agencies and contractors can connect with a member to call them for a gig. It's quickly becoming known as the Union Floor on the Internet. But, you don't have to be a union member to be part of GETAGIG. It is open for everyone to join. Whether you are starting out as a musician/performer or are a seasoned veteran, GETAGIG.com puts everyone in one professional community. The agencies, contractors, fellow musicians/performers can search freely to find a qualified member to fit a specific gig or project.

GETAGIG.com also has free services for classifieds, gig directions to hundreds of venues, updated traffic reports, tons of musician information and tips from the pros. There are even membership incentives for recommending other artists to join. Not to mention that the member customizes his or her own webpage, uploads a photo, uploads a sound byte and more. You even receive a getagig URL address to place on your promotional materials. Within the next year Villano & Sheer are hoping to expand GETAGIG to include the East Coast of the U.S. As there motto says, "This is the place YOU want to be".
