Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles Share TRADE IT ALL Live At Jammcard's JammJam  Image

Today, Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles share their intimate, pulsating live rendition of "Trade It All" from their exclusive JammJam performance, presented by Jammcard. The live session was recorded at Sayers Club in Hollywood, surrounded by Jammcard's premier network of musicians, industry professionals, colleagues and friends.

Jammcard is the fast growing music tech startup known to most as the Music Professionals Network and coined the "LinkedIn for musicians" by Forbes. The Los Angeles-based community expanded to Atlanta and Nashville earlier this year and just this week, won the Gold award for Best Mobile App in Social Media at the W3 Awards. The W3 Awards recognize digital excellence worldwide within the tech industry. Jammcard also recently announced the completion of a $1MM seed round from a variety of entertainment industry members and tech angel investors, which included a strong investment from legend Quincy Jones.

The JammJam is one of Jammcard's many facets, as the app's base purpose is to connect the music community by way of an invite-only social network for vetted pros. The app has been credited for assembling live bands for some of today's biggest acts, such as Gwen Stefani, Zedd, Maren Morris, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Jason Derulo and Grace VanderWaal, among many others. Previous JammJams include takeovers of Tower Records and Capitol Records, which featured a performance by Ty Dolla $ign, who, as a member of Jammcard, volunteered his talents for free.
