The organisation, which has offices in London, New York, Florence, Kuala Lumpar and recently opened an new one in Warsaw, recently launched a live department (Jar Music Live) tasked with promoting new independent bands.
One of Jar Music Lives’ most recognised events is the Plug’d In (Plugged In), held in collaboration with the most influential record labels and tour operators, is one of the UK's most popular and successful industry recognised live music events and is a regular haunt for many of the UK music press including NME. These shows get audiences "Plug'd In" to the best current live music.
In 2011 Jar Music Group took 4 bands, from their plug’d In events at the 02 Academy, and recorded them at the British Grove Studio, owned by legendary Mark Knopfler of Dire Straights.
Jar Music Live is setting new standards and is giving bands the needed resources and a platform necessary for an act to develop their sound and provide them with a complete package to expose their music, including high profile, events, tours, festivals, endorsements.
Evidence of how effective Jar Music Live’s operations have become is evident in the recent success of Clement Marfo & The Frontline, Mad Dog, Bunkface whom from relative obscurity are becoming or are already big selling Artist.
