Find musicians to play with.

Create a free JamFan profile with your instruments, genres and location, and we surface compatible musicians nearby, ranked by real musical compatibility. Match, message, and meet up to jam.

Every evening at 6pm JamFan picks six compatible musicians near you, each with one honest reason you’d play well together. Hit Play the set to hear them full screen, then Jam, Encore (save for later), add a Note, or Pass.

Yes, that’s exactly what JamFan is: a free app for iOS and Android, plus a web app, that matches you with musicians nearby by instrument, genre, skill level and intent.

Absolutely. Whether you want to join a band, start one, or fill an empty spot (a drummer, a bassist, a singer), JamFan is built to find the right players near you.

Yes. Finding musicians, matching, the social feed and messaging are all free. Paid features for venues, agencies and gigs are on the roadmap.

JamFan looks at what you play, the genres you love, your skill level, how far you’ll travel and what you’re looking for, then puts the people you’ll genuinely click with in front of you. It understands that similar styles belong together, so you get real matches, not just exact keyword hits.

Not at all. JamFan is for everyone: total beginners, weekend hobbyists, gigging semi-pros and touring professionals. Set your skill level and what you’re after, and we’ll match you with people on your wavelength.

Loads: from guitar, drums, bass and vocals to keys, strings, brass, production and DJing, across every genre from jazz and blues to metal, hip-hop and electronic. If you make music, you’ll find your people.

Yes. Every musician identity gets a showcase of up to six short audio and video clips that play story-style right on your card in Discover. You can also post videos to the feed and send them in chats.

Yes. Stack up to 8 instruments and 8 genres at once, pick a spot on the map and set a radius from 5 to 500 km. Matching still ranks everyone inside your filters by real compatibility.

Yes. Discover has browsable city directories that grow with the community - like guitarists in London - across 70+ supported cities worldwide, and you can explore them without an account.

We take safety seriously. There are reporting tools throughout the app and we actively review reports. Anyone who breaks our terms, or the good-natured spirit JamFan was built on, loses access. That said, we don’t personally vet members, and meeting anyone from online carries some inherent risk. Use common sense: meet in a public place first, tell a friend where you’ll be, and trust your instincts.

JamFan is 18+ for now. We know the journey to find your musical people often starts younger, and we’d love to open it up. We’re putting extra safeguarding in place first so we can do it responsibly.

iOS, Android and the web. Sign in on any device in seconds, however suits you best.

Absolutely, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a message any time, whether it’s a question, feedback, a bug or a press enquiry, and a real human will get back to you.
