The Indie Venue Bible is a unique, comprehensive directory of live music venues. It is in electronic (.pdf) format and lists 32,000 venues and 3,500 booking agents in the US and Canada. The listings are arranged by area, making it easier for you to route and plan your tour.

We list the obvious venues that you can find in any venue directory. What sets us apart from the others is lesser known venues that you won't find listed anywhere else.

You'll find thousands of coffee shops, restaurants, house concerts, theaters, clubs, halls, churches and book stores - any place you can land a gig! There are also thousands of wonderful venues listed in smaller towns that have been ignored by mainstream venue directories. For example, we have listings for over 300 cities and towns in New York State alone.

To make your life easier, we went a step further and painstakingly researched which genres of music each of these venues feature.

Once the genres of a venue were determined, that venue was then tagged with a set of unique, colorful  GENRE TAGS  . These genre tags allow you to scroll through The Indie Venue Bible and see instantaneously which venues in a given area welcome your style of music. Planning your tour, locally, regionally or nationally, has never been so easy!

We know that venue owners have good intentions when they say they welcome "All Styles" of music, but the truth of the matter is, they don't.

What happens when I walk into the club with my didgeridoo? What about the Christian Death Metal band pulling up to the curb in their van?

Wikipedia lists over 600 different genres of music. Most venues welcome but a small slice of this musical pie. Even the most eclectic ones draw the line .... somewhere.

Saying that they welcome ALL styles is a disservice to you. It doesn't mean anything. Instead of trying to figure out what "all styles" means to a particular venue owner, what you need to know is what styles of music they really welcome.

We have done our very best to bring this to you!
