HOUSTON, TX (October 5, 2022) – PickleJar Founder and CEO Jeff James was recently featured on Louisiana-based radio station KBEF. James, alongside CMA of Texas Director, Mary Minter, discussed what PickleJar brings to each independent artist as well as the work that the artist payments app has done with the CMA of Texas, what the future of the app holds, and why the core mission remains to ensure that artists always receive 100% of their tips. Listen to him on the KBEF radio station below.
“Part of the excitement about PickleJar is that we’re able to do these unique things and being able to livestream this event for this first time in the history of CMA of Texas is exciting for us,” James says in the interview. “We’re definitely looking forward to seeing all of the performances, the individuals and the recognition for the hard work they put in. Part of our mission is that these artists not just own their creative talent but also have a way to monetize that and keep 100%.”
PickleJar will be livestreaming the upcoming CMA of Texas Awards Show in Lubbock, Texas on October 18-19, 2022.
PickleJar is available for iOS and Android smartphones. Their intelligent QR code technology is in use at select venues nationwide and fundraising events, allowing participants to send monies in support of musicians and charitable organizations, even without having to download the app. Most importantly, PickleJar’s TipShare feature means the funds are automatically routed to the intended organization and they receive 100% of the funds.
