Atlanta, GA – November 12, 2009 - Have you ever missed a concert by a favorite band because you didn’t know they were in town? If so, there’s now an iPhone app that helps solve that problem. Atlanta-based software company, Metrocket, has partnered with worldwide music publication, Pollstar, to produce a free local concert application called Live Music.

Live Music informs users of upcoming local music acts and provides ticket information when available. It automatically uses the iPhone’s current location, but supports any location the user enters. It displays upcoming concerts in a number of easy-to-understand formats, and allows users to share concerts easily via email. The most custom feature is the app’s ability to filter upcoming concerts by the artists found in the iPhone’s music library. “For any big city, there can be hundreds, even thousands of upcoming concerts,” explains Evan Metrock, founder of Metrocket. “By incorporating the user’s music library into Live Music, we help ensure a user doesn’t accidentally overlook an upcoming show by a favorite artist.”

Live Music pulls its concert data from Pollstar, the worldwide concert industry’s trade publication of record. Pollstar has been providing live music fans with the same high quality concert data it supplies professional promoters and agents via its free website, Pollstar.com, since 1994. “Live Music provides us a great, new way to deliver our concert data to our users,” says Gary Bongiovanni, CEO of Pollstar. Adds Metrock, “I’ve been using Pollstar.com for years to figure out what acts are coming to town, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to say Live Music is the only iPhone app powered by Pollstar data.”

Live Music is available for free in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom. Metrocket is available for contract work, and invites businesses and individuals to contact the company to discuss potential software development.
