See messaging compliance policyThe founder behind Groupie has used SMS marketing tools for years with his own band/project, and he saw firsthand that texting fans works. He also saw how quickly those tools could become too complex, too expensive, and too far removed from what working musicians actually need.
So Groupie was built as something he would actually use himself: simple, practical, and shaped by feedback from other musicians. It is made for open mic musicians, independent artists, local bands, gigging artists, touring acts, and even festivals that need a direct way to reach people without feeling overwhelmed.
Groupie gives bands, independent artists, and live music promoters a direct way to reach fans by text when shows, releases, merch drops, and updates need to be seen. Build an opt-in fan list, import fans who already opted in, send campaigns now or schedule them ahead, and track deliveries, clicks, and opt-outs after you send. Groupie shows estimated credits before you send, longer texts and emojis can affect credit usage, and current paid plans include monthly credits for sending.
