Tune Tavern is the live music review platform that connects hosts, artists, and listeners in real time. We built it because independent music deserves more than an algorithm — it deserves a stage.

Music Never Stops
From a broken discovery pipeline to a purpose-built platform.
Independent artists spend hours submitting to playlists, blogs, and DMs that never respond. Meanwhile, music reviewers and streamers have no structured way to manage their queues, get paid fairly, or give artists real feedback.
We noticed live music review streams on Twitch and YouTube were electric — raw reactions, real feedback, instant discovery. But the tools were duct-taped together: Google Forms for submissions, PayPal for payments, spreadsheets for queues.
Tune Tavern was born to give this community a proper home. A single platform where hosts manage sessions, artists submit and skip the queue, and listeners discover music before anyone else. Purpose-built, not hacked together.
We're a small, passionate team shipping fast and listening to our community. Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help more music get heard?
The principles behind every line of code we write.
Every decision we make starts with the artist. If it doesn't help independent musicians get heard, get feedback, or get paid — we don't build it.
We're building for the underground, not the algorithm. Real feedback from real people, not vanity metrics. Genuine connection over follower counts.
Hosts keep 85% of what they earn. No hidden fees, no surprise deductions. We believe the people creating value should capture it.
No gatekeepers. Any artist can submit, any host can run a session, any listener can discover. Genre, location, and follower count don't matter here.
