You play the room. Living Mixtape handles everything after it. This is the app you run your live show from — and the machinery that turns the people in the room into a fanbase you keep. DURING THE SHOW Fans pick from your songs and tip right from their phones, live, all night. Every fan who requests a song gets a thank-you, automatically, in your name — you write nothing. BETWEEN SHOWS Every week we text and email your fans to invite them to your shows, in your name, on the day and hour you pick, with nothing for you to write. Send an announcement to your whole list right from your phone. Your fan list is yours, exportable any time. AFTER THE SHOW A recap every night: tips, top songs, new fans. Gig pay, in-app tips and cash tips tracked in one place. Your chord and lyric sheets, and a chart for every player in their own key. FOR THE NEXT BOOKING A venue press kit, written for the person booking the room — and kits for weddings, corporate and private events, each written for who's reading it. A spot on the Living Mixtape roster, the one we put in front of venues. A fan passport remembers every request they've made and every show they've been to, so a stranger who tipped you once becomes someone you know. Three plans, and you can move between them whenever you like: Opening Act — where you start. Headliner — where you grow. Main Stage — everything, and every dollar. Higher plans keep more of every tip, add band seats so your players get their own logins, unlock more request lists and more fan texts, and keep a clean record of every original you play, ready for your PRO. Main Stage also logs every mile you drive to a gig. Living Mixtape is for professional musicians and the roster is by application — we curate it to protect the people already on it. Living Mixtape is sold as an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or annual, and every feature above comes with your plan.
