Booking gigs shouldn't be harder than playing them! This week on Jams ’N’ Cocktails, host Brad Brock and the JNC crew welcome fellow Treasure Coast musician and entrepreneur Greg Stetz, creator of GigBook, an innovative new platform designed to simplify the way musicians, venues, and entertainment professionals connect. Greg shares his journey from performing in Pennsylvania to becoming a fixture in Florida's live music scene, along with the frustrating experiences that inspired him to create a better way to book gigs. From double bookings and last-minute cancellations to missed opportunities and endless text messages, the conversation explores the challenges working musicians face and how GigBook aims to bring the local entertainment industry together.

Greg also takes viewers behind the scenes of GigBook, demonstrating its features and explaining how the platform helps entertainers manage their schedules, discover opportunities, and connect directly with venues while giving music fans an easier way to follow their favorite performers. Along the way, the crew mixes up a Brazilian classic, the Caipirinha, inspired by Anthony Bourdain, puts their musical knowledge to the test with a lively round of Name That Tune, and catches up on entertainment headlines in the Jordy Files. Brad wraps things up with a Midweek Motivation about recognizing opportunities, taking initiative, and building something that makes a difference. It's an entertaining mix of music, entrepreneurship, cocktails, laughs, and community spirit!
