Frequently Asked Questions

AMP (Asheville Music Professionals) is a searchable directory of the people who make music happen in and around Asheville, NC — musicians, bands, and music businesses. It's how our community finds and connects with each other.

Anyone working in music locally — performers, engineers, teachers, techs, bookers, and the businesses that serve them. You can list yourself as an Individual, a Band, or a Business.

AMP is currently free while we grow the community. There's a membership plan for each profile type, and if pricing ever changes we'll always be clear and up front about it.

Building your profile takes just a few minutes (and it saves as you go). After you finish, an AMP admin gives it a quick review, and once approved it appears in the directory. We'll email you the moment it's live.

Not at all. Your progress saves automatically as you build, so you can step away and pick up right where you left off whenever you like.

Use the directory filters. You can narrow by membership type, availability, skills (what someone does), and styles (the genres they play) — and combine as many as you need.

Yes — filter by style in the directory, or open any style to see every member who plays it.

Members choose what contact details to share on their profile. Use those to reach out directly — AMP is all about real connections.

A profile only appears in the directory once it's been approved and is active. If it's brand new or has been taken down, it won't show publicly yet.

All sorts — gigs, auditions, sub calls, session work, and other music opportunities shared by the community on the Opportunities page.

Posting is a member feature. If you're a member, you can share your own from your dashboard — see Posting an opportunity.

Securely, through Stripe. AMP never sees or stores your card details.
