Built by Musicians, for Musicians

Luke Patterson, Founder of Backlined

hi I'm Luke, a software engineer with 8 years of professional experience who also plays guitar in an independent band. After hours spent researching venues and bands for tours, I needed a better way.

The DIY music scene is incredible, but putting together the right bill shouldn't be this hard. After the millionth time asking for band recommendations, I decided to do something about it.

My mission is simple: help the indie music scene thrive by making it easier to discover and connect with the right people. Every feature is built with real touring experience in mind.
