Music enthusiasts can search for artists by genre, city, or artist/band name. The site currently features a collection of artists from several Chicagoland suburbs including Lincolnwood, IL and Niles, IL in addition to a small roster of artists from around the country. Visitors of the site also have the ability to save, purchase and share their favorites with friends via several social networking sites.

As music fans have the opportunity to vote on the artists they “love” and “loathe,” the artists can in turn, see in what cities they are most popular via an interactive map; giving them the chance to adapt their marketing efforts to particular markets.
