What Is Boston Bandmates?
Boston Bandmates is an independent, free-to-use directory that aggregates musician classifieds from across the Greater Boston area. Whether you're a drummer looking for a band, a guitarist recruiting bandmates, or a vocalist hunting for your next project — this is your local hub.
We pull listings from trusted public sources — Craigslist, BandMix, Facebook groups, and more — and display them in one clean, searchable feed. No sign-up required. No pay walls. Just music.
How It Works
Listings on Boston Bandmates are sourced from publicly available musician classifieds boards across the web. We regularly scan and curate posts to bring you an up-to-date snapshot of who's looking for whom in the Boston music scene.
Each listing links back to its original source, where you can get full details and contact the poster directly. We don't store or broker contact information — we just make it easier to find the connections that already exist.
- Search by keyword, instrument, genre, or location

Who's Behind It?
Boston Bandmates is built and maintained by a Boston-area music fan who got tired of checking five different sites just to find a drummer. It's a side project, made with love for the local music scene.
We cover Greater Boston — Cambridge, Somerville, Allston, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, the North Shore, the South Shore, and all the practice spaces in between — plus NH and RI when the listings venture out that way.

A Note on Safety
All listings on this site are sourced from third-party platforms. Boston Bandmates does not vet, verify, or endorse any individual poster. When meeting someone from a music classifieds listing, always:
- Meet in a public place first
- Let someone know where you're going
- Trust your gut — if something feels off, it probably is
Stay safe out there, and rock on. 🤘
