Verse - Music, Radio & Concert WordPress Theme 1.7

After the high-end retail focus of Slikk, we move into the rhythmic and high-energy world of Verse. This theme isn't just a website; it’s a digital stage. It is specifically crafted for musicians, DJs, radio stations, and event promoters who need to manage audio content and live schedules simultaneously.

Verse stands out because it treats audio as a primary citizen, not an afterthought.

🎸 The "Audio-First" Feature Set

While other themes might let you embed a Spotify link, Verse includes native tools built for the industry:

Continuous Audio Player: A "sticky" player that stays at the bottom of the page, allowing users to browse your bio or gallery while the music keeps playing without interruption.

Discography Management: Dedicated pages for albums and singles, often including lyrics, buy links (iTunes/Bandcamp), and tracklists.

Radio Streaming: Built-in support for Icecast and Shoutcast, making it a go-to for internet radio stations.

Event & Tour Manager: A robust system to list tour dates, integrate with Google Maps, and link directly to ticket sellers like Ticketmaster or Eventbrite.

🎟️ Layout & Engagement Tools

Feature

Benefit for Artists

Gigs Manager

Artist Profiles

If you're a label or radio station, you can host unique pages for every artist in your roster.

Store Integration

Fully WooCommerce-ready for selling band merch, vinyl, or digital downloads.

🎨 The "Verse" Aesthetic

The design usually leans toward Dark Mode and "vibrant" accents—think neon glows, deep blacks, and high-energy imagery. It’s designed to look great under "stage lights." However, it’s flexible enough to be dialed back for a minimalist folk singer or a classical orchestra.

Pro Tip: For musicians, "EPK" (Electronic Press Kit) functionality is vital. Use Verse's hidden or password-protected pages to create a one-stop-shop for promoters and journalists to download your high-res photos and bio.

Is Verse your headliner?

Yes: If you are a touring band, a DJ looking to host mixes, or a local radio station needing a professional stream.

No: If you are a "podcaster" only (there are lighter themes specifically for speech) or a corporate business (the "vibe" is too high-energy).

Would you like me to show you how to set up the "Tour Dates" countdown, or do you need help integrating your SoundCloud/Spotify playlists directly into the player?
