Make Your Band’s Site Sing
Hey musicians! We just launched WordPress.com/music with two new features to help you rock the web: playlists and upcoming events.
We know that you need specific features to create a killer experience on your band’s site. You need a calendar so fans can keep track of your gigs, an easy way to embed your music, and lots of social media options to share the love. Oh, and all this on a tight budget? Check, 1-2-3.
WordPress.com has a symphony of tools you can use to keep fans in the loop and share music with them, the media, labels, and venues.
- Mobile-friendly, HTML5-based playlists (Extra Storage upgrade required)
- Upcoming Events widget and shortcode
- Social media cross-posting to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and more
- Embed music from SoundCloud or Bandcamp
- Videos embeds via YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, and more
- Show off your photos with tiled galleries
- Plus, turn it up to 11 with WordPress.com upgrades like Custom Domain and Custom Design
Join artists like Snoop Lion, Xzibit, and The Gap Theory and harness the power of WordPress.com to help take your band from the basement to the big time. Head over to WordPress.com/music to get started.

I wish I would have seen this blog sooner. After checking our some of the actual websites that are created with WordPress, I was floored! Not only do these sites look pro, they obviously have the SEO benefits of a blog… something that Google and other major search engines look for (though this may be overstated, as many WordPress users are already aware of this).
Anywhoo, I totally plan no using this for my next musical venture.
Rock on \m/

Being able to add music to your blog is a great new feature. It is interesting to see every week the new updates that come out for the blogs. It is nice that you can transmit the music you post on your blog to other social media sites. It is nice that WordPress made this especially for musicians who are trying to show off their music and upcoming events. It is neat that you are able to also post videos on WordPress also. Lalurukh36- I agree this is a great addition and one of the coolest new things in WordPress. What do you think is next to come?

Very useful for musicians, I’ll try it thats for sure!

I’m really glad I checked this site out! I’m basicly going to share the music I write, what inspires me and has kept me strong over the years. I have deep roots in Syracuse and there have been lots of people that treat me as family regardless of circumstance. I’m going to blog in some blanks about myself and express my gratitude and pride I take in my family: Syracuse! Mwahahaha;)
