Gemini Live Music – Promoting Maryland Bands & Solo Artists
Supporting Local Maryland Musicians
At Gemini Live Music, our mission is to help Maryland bands and solo artists get discovered online by local music lovers. We connect musicians with fans, venues, and opportunities to grow their audience and build their brand.
We’re not here to replace platforms like ReverbNation or Bandcamp — we’re here to complement them, focusing specifically on unsigned Maryland artists who deserve more local visibility.
Right now, we’re featuring a limited number of unsigned bands and independent artists while we expand our venue partnerships and merchandise programs. If you have original music and play shows in Maryland, we’d love to help you get heard.

🎤 Why I Started Gemini Live Music
I’m a Maryland singer-songwriter who understands the challenges of promoting music independently. For years, I balanced a full-time business career with my passion for songwriting — but lacked the time and resources to market my music properly.
Now, I’m using my digital marketing and SEO background to help other musicians do what I couldn’t: reach listeners and grow a sustainable following.
As I transition out of my internet business over the next two years, I’ll dedicate more time to Gemini Live Music — starting January 2026. The first phase will feature local Rock and Country artists, with Blues, R&B, and Hip Hop categories to follow.
🚀 The Vision for Maryland Music
Maryland has a deep pool of musical talent that deserves wider recognition — nationally and internationally. Our goal is to make Gemini Live Music a trusted hub where fans can discover new artists, venues can find new performers, and musicians can build careers step by step.
The music industry is tough, but with the right mix of branding, gigs, and merch sales, artists can create long-term success.
Start local. Grow regional. Then expand nationally and globally.
