One login. The entire booking, handled.
From the first Zoom call to the final payout, VAB replaces the spreadsheets, email threads, and PDF contracts with a single verified workflow.
Ryder™ Booking Engine
VAB's verified booking engine, Ryder, moves every request through a locked workflow — no ghosted deposits, no verbal-only holds.
Secure payments, escrow-backed
Deposits, balances, and payouts flow through VAB's escrow-backed portal so artists get paid and agents stay protected.
Contracts & riders, e-signed
Tech riders, hospitality riders, insurance certs, and contracts live in one thread — signed, timestamped, and searchable.
Built-in Zoom consults
Vet the fit before you book — schedule a video consult straight from the artist's profile.
Profiles built around the music
Embedded tracks, live set reels, and press photos — so agents hear the act before they book it.
Bio, home base & reach
Searchable location and travel radius so agents only see artists who can actually make the date.
One inbox, every booking
Every negotiation, rider note, and date change lives in a single verified thread per booking.
Every show, one schedule
Deposits due, load-in times, and contract sign-offs tracked as tasks against your live calendar.
Real-time alerts
Booking requests, signed contracts, and cleared payouts — pushed the moment they happen.
From first message to final encore
Five verified steps replace the usual patchwork of DMs, spreadsheets, and PDF contracts.
Discover verified talent
Agents browse Listings by genre, location, price, and rating. Artists build a profile with music, bio, and live availability.
Connect & consult
Message in the Inbox, then hop on a built-in Zoom call to lock the vibe, the set length, and the logistics.
Book with Ryder
Send the request through VAB's verified booking engine — every hold is timestamped, confirmed, and tracked to close.

Contracts and riders are e-signed in the Document Portal; deposits and payouts move through the secure Payment Portal.
