2. Page: “The Live Performance Vault”

This is where you host your “varied” contracts. Musicians need different levels of protection depending on the gig:

  • The Universal Gig Contract: A solid, mid-level contract for almost any show.

  • The Corporate/Wedding Contract: Higher stakes, so it includes “Force Majeure” (act of God) and strict overtime clauses.

  • The International Touring Rider: For musicians crossing borders, including travel, visa, and per-diem requirements.

  • The Bar/Club “Deal Memo”: A simplified 1-pager that isn’t “scary” but is legally binding.


3. Page: “The Legal Advocacy Suite”

This is the “Emergency Room” of the site. It’s less about templates and more about action.

  • Non-Payment Portal: “Has a venue ghosted you? Click here to generate a Guild Demand Letter.”

  • Copyright Protection: Links to global IP offices and a guide on “What to do if your music is stolen.”

  • Attorney Network: A searchable list (or a simple table) of lawyers who specialize in music law.

  • The “Legal Help” Form: A simple form where they can describe their problem and you can point them in the right direction.
