GiGTip Revolutionizing Performer Earnings in a Cashless World

In this episode of Song of Sunset, filmmaker and musician Brian Craig Hinderberger sits down with Philip Rogan, founder of GigTip, to explore how performers can thrive in a cashless world. As cash disappears from pockets, tipping has become one of the most important—and overlooked—revenue streams for independent musicians, buskers, bands, comics, and festival performers. GigTip was built specifically to remove friction from tipping by allowing fans to tip instantly using Apple Pay and Google Pay—no app required, no business license, no credit-card gateway, and no Venmo confusion. In this wide-ranging conversation, Philip shares real data and stories from the field, including: Why buskers are earning twice as many tips with a single QR code How average tips increase when audiences use their phones instead of cash Why 90% of band tips happen during breaks—and how to prompt them naturally How festivals can split tips automatically in real time Why jazz audiences tip more—and what performers can learn from it How GigTip helps artists connect fans directly to Spotify, streaming platforms, and future shows Brian also shares his firsthand experience using GigTip on small stages and while busking, and how modern tipping tools can turn live performance into an interactive extension of an artist’s creative ecosystem. This episode is essential viewing for: Independent musicians and songwriters Buskers and street performers Bands playing cafés, taprooms, and no-cover venues Festival organizers and event promoters Comedians and rotating performance lineups Anyone navigating the future of live, human-centered music At its core, this conversation is about dignity, sustainability, and gratitude—giving audiences an easy way to support real humans making real art in real spaces. 👉 Like, subscribe, and join the conversation as Song of Sunset continues to document the human heartbeat of live music on the small stage.
