Sports bars and music.
They go together, like rama lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong.
The Future of Music in Sports Bars
But the times they are a-changin’. In the not-too-distant past (the present for some of you!), a sports fan could count on watching a specific game at his or her favorite local sports bar, but couldn’t count on the accompanying music playing in the background being worth a hoot.

It’s time to get people more excited about your lineup of songs.
It’s time to leverage the device every single customer walks in with and spends 67% of their time looking at, even when their with friends — the smartphone.
It’s time to leverage the inherently social experience your sports bar provides — by making the music experience social as well.
And it’s time to leverage two, additional secret weapons that complete the picture of the future of music in sports bars…

Some sports bar owners think music is an after thought. It is not. It creates the ambiance for your sports bar or restaurant after the human element. It can separate a quiet sports bar with merely a lot of TVs from YOUR sports bar, with a lot of TVs and a killer “soundtrack”.
