GigGizmo Eliminates Local Live Music Drudgery for Online Promo Autism

and Genius Creatively Merge

With a tap or a click, GigGizmo is the first web-based tool designed specifically to schedule gigs
and rapidly promote local music online so fans can easily find live performers in their towns.

Lakewood, CO, May 04, 2017 --(PR.com)-- GigGizmo is the first web-based tool designed
specifically to schedule gigs and promote local music so fans can easily find live performers in their
towns.

Like Albert Einstein and Bill Gates, Cory Golden is naturally gifted in things technical - at 22, he writes
programming code in more than 30 languages. And Cory struggles with Asperger's Syndrome, a trait he
likely shares with Einstein, Gates and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. While small talk and social cues are
tough for those with Asperger's, programming often comes naturally.

Last fall, when Cory's mother, Ylice - a graphic and web designer who promotes local music - expressed
total exasperation at the lack of effective software to easily promote local live music online, Cory offered
to develop one tool to rapidly do everything that previously required hours of work plus several different
pieces of software.

During the past six months, mother and son have analyzed the local live music industry, evaluated
available platforms (gauging usability), and Cory has developed valuable functionality so small venues
and artists can quickly schedule gigs and promote shows, and fans can easily find them - a win for
everyone!

GigGizmo, the first product from Mountain and Valley, LLC, will revolutionize local live music
promotion by eliminating hours of work and simplifying the whole online promo process. With one tap or
click on a phone, tablet or computer, a venue or performer can:

Schedule gigs.
Update artist and venue calendars.
Create instant online showbills.
Announce performances on social media.
Share event data with the world.
Remind followers of performances with automatically scheduled posts.
And fans use local mapping to find nearby entertainment, worldwide. They will simply click on Find
Bands to see who is performing locally.

Designed to offer maximum flexibility for users: GigGizmo is web-based so no memory-hogging


downloads are required; it can be accessed using Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and Linux; integrating
Google's Geolocation Maps application makes it easy for music lovers to find local shows; and planned
pricing is $12.95 per month for venues and artists, free for fans locating performances - ensuring
availability for everyone who needs these capabilities to promote and find local live music.

Tech Whiz at Ten
Cory has been fixated on computers since he was a toddler. When he was 10, bored and needing a
challenge, Ylice contacted PatchX, a Virginia-based charity that gives needy children and disabled people
access to computers, asking if they could put the boy to work. Later that day, PatchX founder Brian
Wilson showed up with three broken computers. He told Ylice, Don't worry if Cory doesn't get these
back to me; I'm happy to leave the kid something to tinker with. An hour later, Ylice called Brian back
to the house. Young Cory was so excited; he had already repaired all the computers for other children to
use.

Genius May Be Abnormality


Temple Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University is, like Cory Golden, a high-functioning
autistic. Grandin worries that children who would have been labeled intellectually gifted in another age
are being denied opportunities because they are being labeled (autistic). Association between autism
and genius is strong: In the general population, one in 200 people show signs of Asperger's, but fathers
and grandfathers of children with the syndrome are twice as likely to be engineers. Grandin notes that
genius is an abnormality, that social geekiness is simply the flipside of technical genius.

Curiously enough, many musicians who will use GigGizmo struggle with some of the same autism
spectrum issues that Cory has faced. Singer-songwriter James Taylor, guitarist Travis Meeks, and singer
Susan Boyle are among many diagnosed with autism.

Cory Golden's first commercial product is now in alpha-testing and is scheduled for beta release by late
summer of 2017.

The company has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo (https://igg.me/at/GigGizmo/) to


ramp up and launch the product. Additional details about GigGizmo's easy-to-use, time-saving,
house-filling capabilities are available at GigGizmo.com.
