JamJuice is the companion app for performing artists who book gigs through JamJuice. Whether you're a solo artist, a DJ, a full band, or anything in between — this is your mobile hub for discovering opportunities, managing your schedule, and getting paid. DISCOVER GIGS THAT FIT YOU Browse available bookings from venues in your area. Filter by genre, performance type, pay range, city, and date so you only see gigs worth your time. See the venue, the budget, and the details before you commit to anything. NEGOTIATE ON YOUR TERMS Submit your own price, accept offers from venues, counter-offer, or pass entirely. Every offer shows your net take-home. The full negotiation history is right there in the gig, so you always know where things stand. RESPOND TO VENUE OFFERS INSTANTLY When a venue sends you an offer, it shows up front and center on your home screen. Accept or reject with a tap, or open the gig to counter with your own price. No more missed opportunities because you didn't check your email. STAY ON TOP OF YOUR SCHEDULE See all your upcoming confirmed gigs in one place. Add any booking to your Google Calendar with one tap. Block out dates and times when you're not available using the built-in availability manager — mark whole days or set custom time blocks with optional weekly recurrence. MESSAGE VENUES DIRECTLY Chat with venues about gig details, load-in times, set lists, or anything else. Conversations are tied to your bookings so context is never lost. Supports text and file attachments. KNOW EVERY GIG INSIDE AND OUT Each gig listing includes the full venue brief: address (tap to open in Maps), whether the venue handles lighting and sound, notes for the artist, sample playlists, social links, and downloadable files once you're confirmed. TRACK YOUR MONEY View your complete payout history with a breakdown of every payment. You keep 100% of your booking price — no platform fee on your side. Fan tips are shown separately, with their own dashboard: earnings, song requests, and session trends. See when each payout was created, when it becomes available, and its current status. LEAVE AND READ REVIEWS After a gig, rate and review the venue. See what the venue said about you. Build your reputation one show at a time. CONTROL YOUR NOTIFICATIONS Choose exactly how you want to be notified — push, email, or SMS — for each type of event: new gigs, offers, messages, payments, reviews, and more. Set a notification radius so you only hear about gigs within your preferred distance. WORKS WITH YOUR JAMJUICE ACCOUNT Sign in with your email, Google account, or Apple. The mobile app is built for artists who already have a JamJuice profile. Create your account and set up your artist profile and payout details at jamjuice.com, then use the app to stay booked on the go.
