I have a couple of musical friends/clients (and me) looking for a joomla-based modern artist/band template. Can anybody share what's working for them? I'm interested in essential extensions you've employed for posting/managing media (songs, videos), showcasing performance events, selling digital titles, and encouraging donations from fans.

Hey Timothy,

That's an interesting question and something I would be interested as well.

I actually built a custom website for a side pet project of mine: musicforbreathwork.com/ and I took the idea of embedding Spotify into the latest version of Zentools2.

So really depends on how you are getting the music but if the catalogue is on Spotify you could use Zentools2. Otherwise I haven't built anything that relied on music since Joomla 1.5 days where I used the one pixel out mp3 player and just embedded it in the content.

As far as designs go it really depends on the type of look and feel you want to achieve. I would perhaps look at Venture, Focus2 or Boost perhaps. Depends on what you hope to achieve.

Thanks
