Built for the stage
Encore is a live music request and tipping platform that connects musicians, DJs, and performing artists with their audience in real time.
The Story
Encore was born from a simple idea: what if the audience could shape the setlist? At any live show, there's an energy exchange between the performer and the crowd. Encore makes that exchange tangible.
Fans scan a QR code, browse the setlist, and request the songs they want to hear — all while tipping the artist directly. Musicians & DJs see requests appear in real time on their dashboard, giving them a live pulse on what the crowd is feeling.
Whether it's a piano bar where fans sing along, a solo guitarist at a coffee shop, a DJ spinning at a club, or a full band at a festival, Encore adapts to every stage.

Smart Features
Encore uses modern technology and music data to make every show better. Song suggestions that read the room. Setlist optimization based on energy flow. Dedication ideas based on the song and occasion. Show prep that knows your venue history.
Under the hood, these features are powered by modern technology, including AI models where appropriate, and the MusicBrainz open music database. You always know when AI is involved, and every feature offers a non-AI alternative — because the tools should work for you, not the other way around.
