Octav brings local musicians together around the songs they actually want to play — with a clear lineup, a trusted Host, and a better plan before anyone plugs in.
- Song-first discovery
- Host-approved lineups
- Private details stay private
Built for the moment before the music
Every good Session begins before anyone plugs in.
Generic meetup pages tell you where to be. Octav starts with what musicians actually care about: the songs, the open parts, and the people preparing to play them.
How it works
From “I love this song” to a real room.
A simple path from discovery to preparation — with a human Host in control of every lineup.
Request your part
Choose the instrument or role you can cover. The Host reviews every request before the lineup changes.
Prepare together
Once accepted, coordinate the setlist, lineup, and private Session details in Prep chat.
For Players

The company behind Octav
Second Row, Inc.
Second Row, Inc. builds Octav to make local music collaboration easier to start and better prepared when it happens.
We believe the strongest connection between musicians is not a generic profile or a crowded social feed. It is a song both people genuinely want to play — and a clear way to get into the same room ready to play it.
