I'm happy to announce the launch of GigFunder! We are a small, bootstrapped team based here in Chicago! Music fans across the nation now have the opportunity to influence which concerts come to their town with today’s launch of GigFunder.com, the world’s first crowd-funded tour site that allows dedicated fans to raise funds to send their favorite bands on the road. GigFunder.com is a unique way for bands to raise money to tour while fulfilling fans’ dreams of live performances by their favorite acts. Any type of artist can register on GigFunder—including bands, comedians, magicians, DJs and speakers—making it a tremendous resource for acts that need a little extra funding before hitting the road. By simply registering on the site, artists can notify fans that they’re taking pledges and are ready to visit towns across American once the fundraising goal is reached. In addition, fans can proactively contact their favorite artists and request that they sign up with GigFunder for funding. GigFunder is completely risk-free for consumers, as they won’t be charged anything if the tour they contributed to does not receive full funding. If the campaign is successful, the money for the tour goes straight to the artist. All payments are made via PayPal. Campaigns are limited to 30 days to allow artists time between accepting money for a successful campaign, booking a show, and getting there.

Ravinia®, North America’s oldest music festival, stands today as its most musically diverse, presenting over 100 different events throughout the summer. These concerts run the gamut from Yo-Yo Ma to John Legend to the annual summer residency of the nation’s finest orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Jeff Haydon is Ravinia’s President and CEO, bringing more than two decades of arts management and programming experience to the top job, as well as a lifelong love of music as both an avid audience member and musician. Haydon is dedicated to building on the “Ravinia experience,” including inspiring and enabling communities to engage with music through the festival’s Reach Teach Play programs. One of the world’s most accomplished conductors, Marin Alsop is Chief Conductor and Curator for multiple weeks of concerts with the CSO. The festival employs a full-time staff of about 55 year-round, but that number grows tenfold when summer arrives and seasonal jobs go to ushers, food service, phone center operators, and others who help the show to go on. Ravinia also runs its prestigious summer music conservatory, the Steans Music Institute, on its grounds. Each year, 60–70 talented young professional musicians from around the world are awarded fully paid fellowships to come work with an esteemed faculty and the headliners who frequent the festival. The 36-acre park, just north of Chicago, is nestled in a gently wooded area that makes it an enchanting place to experience music, whether in the 3,350-seat open-air Pavilion and the surrounding Lawn, or indoors in the 850-seat Martin Theatre or 450-seat Bennett Gordon Hall. Guests can bring their own picnics or enjoy food and drinks from the restaurants and bars in the park. Children up to age 15 and high-school and college students are admitted free to the Lawn for classical performances.

Jamernot is a music discovery app that connects you with artists around you. It's your chance to be a music scout. Jamernot uses geolocation of music and fan proximity to make the experience local.
