dtown labs builds apps for niche hobbies and communities. We're passionate about bringing cutting-edge technology to users who've often asked "why isn't there an app for that?" JamFinder is exhibit A.

JamFinder is an iOS app that helps you find, create, and manage jams, open mics, and other events focused on music, musicians, and the music community.

A map built for musicians

JamFinder presents a map-based interface where instead of seeing 5,000 restaurants, bars, and delis, you see jams. Open jams, open mics, drum circles, sit-ins, and more.

In the past, if you were new to an area, traveling, or just getting out on the local scene, you'd have to sift through outdated Facebook pages and bar websites, community-driven web pages, or rely on word-of-mouth to find a jam. And if you hosted a jam? Most folks probably found you by word of mouth. It's a long, slow ride, and it's frustrating. We hope JamFinder will help.

Search, save, get notified

When you sign up for JamFinder and open the app, you can easily search for a blues jam, a jazz jam, an open mic — in whatever area is visible on the map. If you're hitting the road, search the city you're headed to and find events you can attend while you're there.

If you host a jam, you can post it on JamFinder for others to find. Users who bookmark your event in their "My Jams" list get notifications reminding them of upcoming sessions, or informing them of cancellations or other updates. No more call or text chains.

We hope you'll like JamFinder. We use it ourselves, and we'd be honored if you gave it a shot.
