• search_available_performers

  GigXchange artists and bands open to a booking on a specific date. FREE-BY-DEFAULT: a member is bookable on every date EXCEPT ones they have marked (unavailable / on hold / already booked), so a large result means "nobody has blocked that day", not "everyone confirmed they are…
