HOUSTON, TX (October 14, 2022) – PickleJar Founder and CEO Jeff James was recently featured on Texas-based radio station KSSL, flagship station of the CMA of Texas. James discussed what inspired the idea for PickleJar and how the artists payment app is working with CMA of Texas Director, Mary Minter, and the CMA of Texas for their upcoming CMA of Texas Awards Show. Listen to him on the KSSL radio station below.
“What really drew us to Mary and the CMA of Texas was the genuine desire to help the career of the artist, not just celebrate where they are at the end of it or at this shining moment, but really on the development of the artist,” James says in the interview. “That is what PickleJar is really about – helping the artist at every stage of the life cycle of a musician.”
PickleJar will be livestreaming the upcoming CMA of Texas Awards Show in Lubbock, Texas on October 18-19, 2022 directly to the PickleJar mobile app as well as PickleJar+, a streaming channel available on Roku TV, AppleTV+ and Amazon Fire TV.
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.
