HOUSTON (July 22, 2021) – Country Aircheck Weekly turned the spotlight on PickleJar in this week’s issue of the leading country radio trade publication. Highlighted on the front page, PickleJar’s executive team shares the story behind the revolutionary tipping platform’s Artist First approach.
“As the name implies, PickleJar takes the concept of tipping performers into the digital space, but the idea goes further than that,” wrote Country Aircheck VP/GM Chuck Aly. “In connecting artists with fans, venues and charitable organizations, the app offers engagement tools not previously collected on one platform. With an eye on big data and functionality for radio, PickleJar is aimed at being kind of a big dill … er, deal.”

“Our goal was to create an all-encompassing platform to support artists and creators,” said Jeff James, CEO of PickleJar. “PickleJar was actually born in Music City and we are thankful that the country music community has been so receptive to the app. We also greatly appreciate Country Aircheck for helping get the word out about the app to artists and fans.”
“We came up with the idea for PickleJar while we were out on Broadway enjoying live music,” adds Kristian Barowsky, President of PickleJar. “We saw a huge need for a cashless tipping option that would actually benefit the musicians and that night we scribbled the idea for PickleJar on a napkin. Two years later, we are live.”
PickleJar continues to add to their extensive list of capabilities as they introduce themselves to artists and fans worldwide. PickleJar is a suite of Artist-First technologies developed with a simple idea: “help others achieve the greatest value for their creative talents and visionary pursuits.” The app provides a social platform that incorporates engagement and marketing automation tools all in one platform. Most importantly, artists receive 100% of funds tipped by fans. Additionally, PickleJar’s gaming-inspired features give fans instant access to the performer through private direct messages and picture sharing which earn them loyalty rewards, achievement badges and exclusive “Tip-to-Win” giveaways.
