Amp

A Texas indie music network for venues

The music in your room should fill your room.

AMP plays royalty-cleared indie music in your bar or restaurant, rewards every guest who scans to follow an artist, and brings them back for live shows.

Free 90-day pilot for Midland venues.


The gap

Background music services charge you every month and give nothing back. The songs your customers hear never turn into fans, tickets or a reason to return.

AMP closes the gap between music heard and money made, for you, for the artists and for the people at your tables.

What your venue gets

Built for restaurant and bar owners who already pay for background music and want more foot traffic and more loyal regulars.

  • A cleared indie catalog

    Royalty-cleared music from independent artists, ready to play all day. Background music that is local, current and yours to talk about.

  • QR table cards

    Cards on every table. A guest likes a song, scans, follows the artist and earns points, without downloading anything first.

  • Rewards per scan

    Your venue earns rewards every time a customer scans in your room. Discovery becomes a reason to come back.

  • Show-night traffic

    AMP books the artists your customers already follow into live shows, and sends that crowd through your doors.

  • A monthly report

    What played, what got scanned and which artists your room is falling for, once a month, in plain language.

  • Try all of it free for 90 days.

How it works, in three steps

  1. 01

    Your room plays indie

    Your venue streams a royalty-cleared catalog of independent artists, in place of background music that gives nothing back.

  2. 02

    Guests scan and follow

    A QR card on the table lets a customer follow the artist they just heard and earn points. You earn rewards for every scan.

  3. 03

    Fans buy tickets

    AMP turns those followers into ticket buyers at AMP Live shows. The fan list is built in your venue before the show is booked.


AMP Live

It all ends at a live show.

AMP is a live-events company first. The music in your room builds the fan list; AMP Live turns that list into a crowd, with founding-artist and headliner shows sold show by show.

Fans earn points for discovering artists and get early tickets and perks. Artists join free and get venue placements, direct fans and paid show slots. Your venue gets the night.

Founded by Patrick Carrasco, who has produced concerts since 2007 and has built and operated restaurants and venues in Midland since 2017.
