A quick note from our Founder,

Hi — I'm Barry. A quick hello.

GigPost was built by three working musicians: my wife Becca, our partner Michael Cleary, and me. We play in venues like yours every weekend, and we built GigPost so the social side runs itself — you never have to log into Facebook or Instagram again, and your posts just show up where your fans are.

Inside this packet you'll find how the portal works, our pricing (including a done-for-you Concierge tier), and our onboarding. If you'd like to see it live, just say the word — we'll set up a quick walkthrough at your convenience.

Thanks for taking a look.

All the best,
Barry O'Doherty
Founder, GigPost LLC
P.S.  Every new account starts with a 30-day free trial. You can have your first posts going out within a week of saying yes.

Chapter Two
Why GigPost
What problem we solve, and why we're the ones to solve it.
Section 2

Why GigPost

🎯 In one line GigPost is your entire entertainment program on autopilot — we book the event, write the post, design the graphic, schedule the social rollout, and build your fan list. All for $99/month. Built by musicians.

🧨The pain points we solve

"I never want to log into Facebook or Instagram again."
  • Once your account is connected (we walk you through it on the kickoff call), GigPost posts everything for you.
  • You don't log into Page Manager. You don't fight with Meta Business Suite. You don't see another "we don't recognize this device" email.
  • You manage everything from your GigPost portal — and the posts just appear where your fans see them.

House event night. Same engine — karaoke, trivia, happy hour, all handled the same way.
"I don't have time to post."
  • One-screen form: act + date + photo → done. We handle the rest.
  • Or text it in. Or upload a voice note. Or let our team scan your roster.
  • Schedule posts to drop 14, 10, 7, 5, 3, 1 day, and day-of without any extra clicks.
"My posts look amateur."
  • Professional captions written in your venue's voice/tone (set once).
  • Auto-generates branded event posters (your name + the date right on the image).
  • Every caption written like a real bar owner — not corporate, not stiff.
"I never know what works."
  • Built-in analytics: which posts got reach, which acts pull the crowd, which times work best.
  • "Rate your act" workflow the day after each event — builds your private booking history.
"I lose track of who I've booked and when."
  • Entertainer Roster — every band, DJ, trivia host, karaoke crew in one place with photos, bios, contact info, and social links.
  • Calendar view of every booked event.
  • Click an act → see every event they've played for you, with ratings.
"Booking the same DJ 30 nights a year takes 30 separate posts."
  • Recurring events: book once, system handles weekly/monthly posts automatically.
  • Skip a date, end a series, update details for all future occurrences — one click each.

Section 3

Portal Features

GigPost is an entertainment discovery and management platform for venues that host live music and events. The portal handles event management, social promotion, graphics, post scheduling, analytics, and fan engagement — all in one place.

📅Event Management

Entertainer Roster

One searchable library of every band, DJ, trivia host, karaoke crew, or performer you work with — photos, bios, contact info, and social links all in one place.

portal / entertainers
Entertainer Roster view

Click any act for the full picture

Open any entertainer to see everything you need to make a booking decision — in one panel.

  • Bio & member list — who's in the band, what they sound like, what they do.
  • Contact info — phone, email, website, and social links.
  • Booking history at your venue — every date they've played for you, with your private ratings and notes.
  • Photo library — every shot you've used in past posts.
  • One-click “Create a Post” — schedule their next show without leaving the panel.

Add an Event in one screen

Pick an act, set the date, choose your post schedule — done.

  • Any event type — live music, trivia, karaoke, happy hour, NFL Sunday, wine tastings, anything you put on.
  • Pick your post schedule — 14, 10, 7, 5, 3, 1 day, day-of, or post immediately.
  • Make it recurring — one toggle handles every future occurrence (weekly trivia, monthly tastings, whatever cadence you run).
  • Add a special — drop a featured drink or menu item right into the post.
  • Posts to Facebook + Instagram simultaneously — one event, both feeds.
portal / add-event

Rate Your Act the morning after

A one-tap rating workflow that builds a private history of who packs your room — and who doesn’t. Over time, you stop guessing and start booking by data.

portal / rate-your-act
Rate Your Act modal

Also included: full calendar view of every booked event, per-act booking history with notes and ratings, and unlimited entertainers in your roster.

✍️Auto-Generated Captions & Content

Captions written in your venue’s voice

Every post is auto-generated in the tone you set during onboarding — friendly neighborhood spot, lively rock venue, classy wine bar, whatever fits.

  • Context-aware — captions adapt automatically to live music vs. trivia vs. happy hour vs. wine tasting.
  • Local-search optimized — every post naturally mentions your town and state so search engines surface your venue when fans look up what's on tonight nearby.
  • Preview & edit every post before it goes live — tweak the words, swap the photo, or regenerate the whole thing with one click.
  • Hashtag & emoji discipline — no spammy hashtag walls, no random emoji clutter. Just clean copy.
  • Custom graphics, every time — a one-of-a-kind event flyer is generated for every post, with your venue name and event details baked right into the image.

Live music night. Taco Tuesday. Trivia. Wine tasting. The same engine writes the post and designs the graphic for all of them — you get a polished, on-brand image every time.

🎨Graphics & Visuals

  • Auto-generated event posters — professional graphics with your venue name and the event date burned into the image.
  • Entertainer photos stored in the Roster, automatically pulled into posts.
  • Flux Pro image engine — high-quality, custom-built visuals for every event.

📲Posting & Scheduling

🎯 No more juggling Facebook and Instagram. Once you're connected, GigPost handles all the publishing on your behalf — you never have to log into either platform again.

Every post, every status, one view

Going-out-today, scheduled, recurring, paused, posted — all in one panel. Edit or cancel any scheduled post before it goes live. Facebook and Instagram publish simultaneously through our official Meta integration.

Schedule once. Posts drop automatically at 14, 10, 7, 5, 3, 1 day, and day-of — or use Post Now for last-minute changes.

Weekly & monthly recap posts, on autopilot

Set the day and time once. GigPost designs the lineup graphic and publishes it straight to your Facebook Page — every week, every month, no logins required.

Also: SMS-to-Post — text or voice-note the details of an event to a dedicated number; it creates the event, generates the post, and sends a confirmation back. (Pending carrier approval.)

📊Dashboard & Analytics

Your morning view

One screen, at a glance: venue health score, upcoming events, recent posts, and your entertainment spend for the month. The numbers you actually care about — visible the second you log in.

Engagement insights show which posts got reach and reactions on Facebook and Instagram. Event insights show which acts pull the biggest crowd and which days work best for your venue.

Who we are, and how to reach us.
Section 6

About GigPost

GigPost started with a simple observation. Between the three of us, we've played a lot of nights at venues across New England — and we kept noticing the same thing. Owners who clearly cared about the music had no time for the social media that should have been filling their rooms. The posts went out late, or didn't go out, or didn't sound like the place we were standing in.

We knew the operators wanted help. We also knew the existing tools weren't built for them — they were built for marketers, with a thousand knobs and dials no venue owner has time to learn. So we built GigPost: a focused platform that schedules the event, writes the post, designs the graphic, and gets it in front of the right people. Made specifically for venues that book live entertainment.

We're a small Connecticut company. You won't get an offshore call center or a chatbot named "Avery." You'll get one of us.

Built by musicians, for the people who book them.

Co-Founder & CEO
Irish-born musician, healthcare operator turned entrepreneur, and founding member of the band Driving Route 9, Barry O'Doherty has spent decades on both sides of the live music business — as a working performer and as the kind of operator who actually knows how to run a service company. He trained as a recording engineer in New York City, ran healthcare organizations for over thirty years, and has founded multiple companies along the way. Fun fact: he once recorded Phish in Burlington, Vermont — long before the world knew their name.

She ended up in Southeast Connecticut, where she met the love of her life, Barry, at an open mic. After 10 years in the medical field, she co-developed GigPost, driven by a lifelong passion for live music. She's a dog mom to two Australian Shepherds, and she loves to hike, paddleboard, and write and sing with her band, Driving Route 9.

Michael founded the Michael Cleary Band, a two-time Hartford Advocate "Best of Bands" winner that performed for nearly 30 years and released 7 albums. The band played the same rooms GigPost now serves, giving Michael a working relationship with venues, bookers, and audiences across the region. Alongside the band, he spent 40 years in the professional audio industry across sales, engineering, and live production — a perspective most software salespeople can only fake. In 2026, Michael partnered with Barry and Becca to launch GigPost, bringing the same authenticity, ear for the room, and deep industry relationships that defined his music career.
