Our members are vetted and hand picked pros by Jammcard. Anyone can now install the app and send a booking request to our members, but only our members can list their services and get booked. If you’re a music professional, you can apply to join as a member. Members can create and share a Jammcard profile to be booked and build their creative portfolio highlighting their skills, experiences, videos, photos, tracks, tour dates, media, gear, etc. Whether you’re a musician, producer, singer, songwriter, music director, creative director, manager, live/studio engineer, crew, etc., Jammcard provides a vetted network of members for you to connect with to accomplish your professional needs.

With Jammcard Booking, you now have the ability to connect your talents to the world with ease. Once you set up Booking in the Jammcard app, you can share your profile to not only fellow Jammcard members, but to any potential buyer aka Booker around the US. Jammcard Booking keeps your business safe, secure and simple. And the best part, we make sure you get paid immediately. Never chase money owed to you again! We handle it for you, so you -- can just do you. Add your Jammcard link to your social media bio, website, or send it out in an email blast. Let potential Bookers know you’re available to be booked for gigs, lessons, sessions and consultations. Once you’re set up on Booking, it will display the Book button on your Card so other members can book you for opportunities as well. Jammcard doesn’t collect revenue from you when you are booked. There is a 3% processing fee that covers the credit card fees. We charge the Booker a fee for procuring your services which allows Jammcard to continue to build the community so we can bring all of our members more value and opportunities.
