7. Peggy Gou

Built with: Craft CMS

Peggy Gou is one of the more unique musician websites that we could come across when curating this collection.

Instead of having the menu in the header, you’ll find it at the bottom of the screen; plus, it’s a sticky one. Also, Peggy Gou offers you to play a tune by pressing the “+” sign in the bottom left corner.

Lastly, the home page animation makes this site way more catchier.

Note: Introduce an audio player to your website, so everyone can enjoy your tunes while browsing your content.

8. Elles Bailey

Built with: Wix

What sets Elles Bailey’s site apart from the rest is the beautiful parallax background image. It has a boxed layout with an embedded playlist and video, tour dates and a subscription form.

Another interesting feature is the live chat widget in the bottom right corner, which isn’t something you often see on a musician’s website.

Note: Parallax effect is a great engagement booster that adds depth to your site.

9. Charley Crockett

Built with: Elementor

Charley Crockett only has a hero section with a full-screen image background on the front page, a transparent header (that floats) and social media icons at the bottom.

Although it’s a modern and responsive web design, this is still a pretty basic website that does a great job when it comes to promoting tunes and tour dates.

Note: A full-screen image background can be extremely effective in increasing visitor engagement.

10. Andrew Huang

Andrew Huang immediately grabs your attention with the vibrant colors he uses on his musician website. The hero section has links to social media so that you can connect with Andrew right away.

11. Lauren Conklin

Built with: Wix

Lauren Conklin’s website starts with a full-width image with her name overlayed, followed by three embedded Shopify playlists so that you can listen to her music via her website.

Additionally, this musician’s website has a beautiful video gallery/library with optional share buttons.

And similar to Peggy Gou, Lauren’s page also has the header/menu at the bottom of the screen (floating).

Note: Dare to move the traditional top header to the bottom of the screen.

12. Jonathan Jackson

Built with: Squarespace

Jonathan Jackson’s front page is a full-screen image background with text, a CTA to enter the website and social media icons at the bottom.

Below the hero area is a section that promotes her latest album and then a list of tour dates with CTAs for tickets and RSVPs.

Sierra Hull also has a newsletter subscription form sandwiched between an Instagram feed slider and a Spotify playlist.

Note: Integrate an IG feed to add more content to your website and to grow your profile.

15. Garry Tallent

Built with: Webflow

Garry Tallent has a very artistic above-the-fold area with a background image and a transparent header.

This musician’s website has a single-page structure with all the details only a few scrolls apart. (Too bad the header isn’t a sticky one because it’d make jumping from section to section much more comfortable.)

While many use an IG feed, Garry uses a Twitter grid feed (powered by the Juicer tool).

Note: One-page website can improve UX (especially with a sticky menu).

16. Behemoth

Built with: Squarespace

Behemoth is a band website example with a video embedded above the fold over a background image. The header is transparent for a more distraction-free experience. Also, the navigation bar has social media icons and a CTA button to join the mailing list.

17. Harpdog Brown

Built with: Squarespace

What we really like about Harpdog Brown’s website is the front page with a full-screen background slider, audio player, links to social media and other pages.

While the home page doesn’t have a header or a footer, the rest of the website has. The navigation bar has a drop-down menu to find particular information more easily.

Note: Use a background slider to spice things up and create a more enjoyable viewing experience.

20. Cameron Carpenter

Built with: Squarespace

Cameron Carpenter sticks to minimalism and simplicity with his website. The above-the-fold section only has a hero image without any text or CTA and a plain navigation bar.

Below the fold are many PR mentions from various authorities that built social proof.
