How it works

  1. Build a taste profile. Add a few favorite artists and genres, set how loud or mellow you like it, and pick your preferred venue sizes.
  2. Drop a pin. Enter a ZIP code (or use your location), a date range, and a search radius.
  3. Scan the radar. Jam Scanner uses AI to rank nearby shows into tiers, from Direct Hits to longer shots, and explains in one line why each one fits your taste.

Frequently asked questions

Is Jam Scanner free?

Yes. Jam Scanner is a free, AI-powered live-music discovery app, and you can browse shows without creating an account.

How does Jam Scanner choose shows for me?

You build a quick taste profile (favorite artists, genres, how loud or mellow you like it, preferred venue sizes). Jam Scanner then uses AI to rank nearby shows by how well they fit your taste and write a one-line reason for each, leaning toward local bands you'd love but haven't heard of yet.

Do I need an account?

No. You can use it without signing in. Signing in with Google is optional and just saves your taste profile so it syncs across your devices.

Can I use it in other cities or while traveling?

Yes. Enter any US ZIP code, or tap "Use my location," to find taste-matched shows wherever you are.

How is it different from Bandsintown or Songkick?

Those apps mainly alert you about artists you already follow. Jam Scanner uses AI for discovery: it surfaces unfamiliar local acts you'd love based on your taste, not just bands you already know.
