The First MetaJAX Broadcast into TokenSmart Discord and CV TokenSmart Lounge took place on March 25, 2021 and was a major milestone in the world of web3 music. The event was held at Campus JAX, a speakeasy supper club in Newport Beach, California, which has been live-streaming its performance events for the past five years. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the club has accelerated its efforts and has broadcast over 300 shows to an online audience of over 1 million viewers.
The live, in-person audience consisted of 70–150 guests who were treated to an incredible musical performance while enjoying great California-Cajun style food and cocktails from the Long Bar. During the pandemic, artists performed outside the restaurant venue in an open-air event tent, but performances have since returned inside the club, which boasts one of the best-sounding rooms of its size in the world.
