HOUSTON – May 2, 2023 – PickleJar, the premier live entertainment and artists payments platform, today announced that it will attend and stream the “Raised Rowdy Takeover” during the 27th Annual Key West Songwriters Festival from May 4-6. Live streaming from its newest partner venue, Island Dogs Bar in Key West, fans across the world can view the stream for free on both the PickleJar Live app and PickleJar+ FAST channel available on Roku TV, Apple TV+ and Amazon Fire TV.
“We at Island Dogs are thrilled to announce that Raised Rowdy, the leading music lifestyle brand, has teamed up with PickleJar to host the Island Dogs Happy Hour sessions from May 4-6,” says David Thibault, Island Dogs Bar Owner. “With PickleJar’s innovative platform, the “Raised Rowdy Takeover” and other future acts will be able to perform live and reach music fans across the globe from the comfort of their homes and mobile devices. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for Island Dogs, and we can’t wait to bring our customers a one-of-a-kind musical experience.”
“This event is an absolute blast and we are so excited to be bringing a whole crew of amazingly talented artists and writers to the Island Dogs stage for the third year running,” adds Nick Tressler, Raised Rowdy Founder. “We are beyond thankful to PickleJar for helping those that cannot attend the event get a glimpse into what this week is and what it means to so many. I hope the livestreams will make you want to take a trip to Key West and come and support great live music all over the US!”
PickleJar will also be installing digital signage and live streaming capabilities at three more Key West venues – General Horseplay, Mary Ellen’s Bar & Restaurant, and Tiki House. These venues will utilize PickleJar’s exclusive high-definition camera set-up to stream performances from their stage as well as provide opportunities for the audience to utilize the PickleJar app to send cashless gratuity tips (known as “Notes” in the app), song requests, shoutouts, beneficiary donations and more to the artists. These features are unique to the PickleJar app and allow fans to directly engage with the artists while they are performing on stage. Additionally, the venues will use PickleJar’s intelligent ticketing platform and QR-PURL technology, TipTopper, for patrons to access their menus, drink specials and calendar of events.
“We are truly excited to participate in this festival and add more live music establishments to our growing network of partner venues,” says Jeff James, PickleJar Chief Executive Officer. “This event serves as a way for us to showcase amazing local talent on our live stream channel and allows the venues to expand customer reach not only during the festival but moving forward.”
In addition, PickleJar will host a guitar giveaway for anyone attending the “Raised Rowdy Takeover” or watching via livestream, where three lucky entrants will receive a guitar signed by multiple well-known songwriters.
