✺ For working musicians.

Keep every dollar
your fans
send you.

Sonic Bloom is the website, store, and fan list for musicians who'd rather not hand a cut of every tip to a tech company. $15 a month, flat. That's the whole pitch.

Other platforms take a cut
of every dollar.
We take $15. Flat.

Here's a working musician's year. Not a hypothetical — this is roughly what one of my band's good years looks like. Compare the right column.

Blended 15% reflects typical Bandcamp + processing. Your numbers may vary; the direction doesn't.
A touring band loses a Martin D-28, a Fender Twin, and a used van to platform fees every year.

Everything a band actually uses.

Not bolted on. Not a marketplace of plugins. One login, one bill, one product.

01
Your site
A real website. Not a link-in-bio.

6 layouts
Fully re-skinnable

Your store
Sell directly. Keep what you sell.

Tip jar, merch, digital downloads, ticket sales, bundles, pre-orders, memberships. Printful POD is built in so you can drop a tee without holding inventory.

0%
Platform fee. Ever.
03
Your fans
Your list is your list.

Email and SMS, broadcasts and segments, QR codes that drop into gig posters, a CRM that remembers what every fan bought. Export the whole CSV whenever you want. You own it.

From the founder · Livingston, MT
Hey —

I've run a recording studio called Free River Studios in Livingston, Montana for fifteen years. I front a band called Western Family Band. Between those two things, I've watched a lot of money that fans meant to send to musicians end up somewhere else.

15% here. 10% + 5.5% there. A $50 plugin subscription to make the store work. Processing fees on top of processing fees. Lists you don't own, rules you didn't agree to, dashboards that don't tell you anything useful.

So I built the thing I wanted. A website, a store, and a fan list — all in one product, one bill, one login. $15 a month. You get a custom domain, a tip jar, merch, a mailing list, the whole deal. Stripe handles the money and it goes to your account. If you'd rather leave, you export your list and walk away. No hostages.

I'm a musician first. I answer support emails myself. If something about this product is in your way, tell me and I'll fix it or explain why I can't.
