# Perform With Us

> Perform With Us (performwith.us) is a local marketplace connecting musicians with gigs and with each other, launching in North Alabama — from Birmingham to the Shoals. Venues and event organizers post performance opportunities; performers and bands respond with structured applications. A three-tier recommendation ladder (Familiar With → Performed With → Highly Recommend) builds verified, peer-given reputations.

Key facts:
- Free to join; any user can create a performer profile, manage bands, and post opportunities.
- Opportunities come in two types: "hire" (booking acts — performers and bands can apply) and "recruit" (bands seeking members — individual performers only).
- Recommendations are given person-to-person on the platform, so reputations reflect real shows played and real working relationships.
- Coverage area: North Alabama, including Huntsville, Birmingham, Florence / Muscle Shoals, Decatur, and surrounding communities.
