Wow, these are really good, but making one like this is probably way over my budget. We’re sticking to a theme, probably http://www.mybandtheme.com/
I love the use of color on some of the sites for example the Francesca Battistelli site, or the Anthony Hamilton site. But the black and white one is good as well, but basically you make anything B&W, and it’ll look stylish, so no surprise there

Nice clean sites but if creativity and interesting design was a factor, most of these wouldn’t factor into the top 20. I think Jason Mraz, Death Cab, The Specials, Rascal Flatts, Francesca and maybe U2 and Madonna have something here.

Just for comparison, try anything Jack White… thirdmanrecords, White Stripes or the Raconteurs for fun concepts and design.

I think there may be some bias here with the country music. Seems like A LOT of country and ironically, these are the sites that are lacking a unique design. The sites do have some nice photography, the layout is organized and easy enough to navigate with most of them but there isn’t anything fun or artistic, which isn’t surprising as I find most “new country” quite soulless and void of artistic value… =P

I have used Bandmo (http://bandmo.com) to create my band’s website and the results are awesome.

I find it much more simple than other solutions out there.
Good luck!

To this day I haven’t found a musician’s website that is easy to navigate, has appropriate amount of content per page, and actually has all the content a fan would want to see. A sad reality considering so many options are available nowadays.

Unfortunately, most of these have been updated since this post and aren’t nearly as cool! But thanks for the post!

Some really nice sites in this list that I hadn’t visited before, thank you! I would like to recommend Tori Amos as well, her site is very well-designed.

I love Francesca Battistelli’s site nicely laid out.

Big fan of this one Dave Anderson and the Wine Merchants

Thank you for a great article regarding music websites. We just stood up our site (www.semitonemusic.com) and have made some progress, but these sites really give us a good idea of ideas we can incorporate. As I click through the list, I notice more and more things that we will use to continue our pursuit of a top notch website!

Again thank you for a great article packed with resources!
