With concert attendance banned in most states, and artists struggling to pay their bills, we decided to come up with an app that aggregates auditory events going on around the United States.
For the time being, the app features auditory happenings that are being held, in smaller venues (like restaurants, bars and coffee shops) and on the internet. We service the music lovers, our homies and their friends. We are fortunate to have the support of the National Independent Venue Association. Their aim is to “preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent venues and promoters throughout the United States." Here are some quick notes about the impact of COVID-19 on live events:
- In 2020, the quantity of online music-paying clients arrived at 42.7 million, a year-over-year increment of 50.4%." Tsai Chun Pan, Group Vice President, TME Content Cooperation Department.
- Artists can't get unemployment, because they're "self-employed".
- Virtual concerts are becoming popular alternatives to in-person shows.
- The music industry goes hand-in-hand with the restaurant industry, and when one trips up in business, the other will likely stumble.

In college, I went to a lot of different live music events, and it would've been a lot more convenient if I had an app to help me find them...so I made one.

We've made it easy for anyone interested in music, podcasts or comedy shows to see where they're going on a Friday night. Think of us as the Yelp of live shows.
