Encore
What it is
Encore turns live music performances into recurring revenue. Fans tip via QR code at venues, artists announce shows with one tap, and natural subscription conversion happens after genuine in-person interaction. No content treadmill, no algorithms—just music.
Why it matters
Every great artist deserves a floor, not just a ceiling. About 19% of music listeners are willing to financially support artists if the process is simple enough. Encore makes it that simple: scan, tip, stay connected. A hundred subscribers at $5/month is $12K a year in recurring income—real money for an independent musician, built from real relationships instead of algorithmic reach.
The alternative is Patreon-style content obligations, cold sign-ups from social media links, and the guilt of a content treadmill. Encore replaces all of that with something that starts in the room where the music actually happens.
