Hey y’all, Sam Reyes here. But you can call me Uncle Sam.

Another month, another wave of live music stories, new features, and real momentum building across the board.

The Buzz is where we break down what’s happening on stage, behind the scenes, and inside the data.

Let’s get into it.

This month we’re spotlighting Jer Gregg, not just as an artist, but as a leader in live entertainment.

As Entertainment Director at TC Group, Jer oversees talent across major markets from Gatlinburg to Las Vegas to Broadway in Nashville. That role takes vision. It takes someone who understands rooms, audiences, and how to support artists at every level.

We love having Jer on TipSee because he’s not only building his own career, he’s creating opportunities for others coming up behind him.

On the music side, his recent releases “Lonely With You” and “Drugs and Money” highlight sharp songwriting with a commercial edge, with more on the way.

Jer represents exactly what we believe in:
artists building careers, not just chasing moments.

After months of early 2000s throwbacks and high-energy singalongs dominating request boards, something familiar is making its return.

We’re seeing audiences shift back toward timeless anthems, songs everyone knows, everyone sings, and everyone tips for.

Predictable? Maybe.

But when that first chord hits, the room still lights up.

Some songs never leave.
They just wait their turn.

We just rolled out one of our biggest updates yet and artists are already seeing the impact. Shoutouts are live.

This is what modern live music should look like:
seamless for fans, profitable for artists.
