More Than a Free Song Request App

SRL is so much more than a simple QR Code, Song Request, or Tipping app.

Song Request Live brings your setlists, Song Notes, audience requests, tips, backing tracks, performance controls, and more together in one system designed for the stage.

A free Song Request app is where the audience enters SRL.
The Live Performance System is where the performer runs the show.

Run Your Entire Show From the SRL Stage Console

The SRL Stage Console is the center of your live performance.

Your next song is always on top
Your full setlist stays directly below
Audience Song Requests integrate into the same performance view
Song Notes are available with a tap
Swipe right to advance to the next song
Swipe left to open Song Notes

Instead of jumping between separate setlist, lyrics, request, and tipping apps, SRL brings the performance together in one Stage Console.

Build, Import, Edit and Reorder Your Set Lists

Creating a setlist shouldn't require entering every song one at a time.

Paste your setlist from almost anywhere:

A spreadsheet
A Word document
A text file
A website
Plain text copied from another source

Edit your setlist directly in SRL or reorder songs with drag-and-drop. Then run that setlist directly from the Stage Console.

Built-In Chord Diagrams

SRL can display chord diagrams at the top of your Song Notes. Need to change keys? Transpose the song and save the new setting. The chords throughout the Song Notes—and the displayed chord diagrams—change with the new key.

Backing Tracks

Upload backing tracks and start them directly from Song Notes, ready for your notes to scroll along with the performance.

With Gig Profiles, customize your setlists and available Song Request categories for different venues, different shows, or different band lineups.
