Digital jukebox in Fairbanks

Fairbanks knows how to entertain between October and March.

Fairbanks draws people for the dark: aurora tourists in winter, University of Alaska students year-round, and a community that has always made its own entertainment indoors. Rockola.app fits that world — a jukebox on the TV you already have, run by whoever is in the room, from their own phone with a QR code. Kanopy is dark? Doesn't matter. Open late, and let the crowd pick the soundtrack.

  • Works on the TV or monitor you already have
  • Guests request music from their own phone
  • You keep control: skip, remove or reorder anytime
  • 30-day free trial — no charge until it ends

Built for the long dark and the visitors it brings

University nights, aurora season and record-breaking cold all point the same way: people stay in bars that give them something to do.

Karaoke fills the dark months

A slow night becomes a karaoke night on the same screen and the same account — no rented machine, no host, no extra contract.

Students bring their own energy

A university crowd at a college-town bar expects input. The QR flow gives it to them without staff running a playlist laptop.

Aurora tourists stay when it is zero outside

Visitors waiting out long winter nights want something happening in the room. A jukebox they control turns a wait into a round.

No sound system change needed

Rockola.app only changes what plays next — your existing room, speakers and wiring stay exactly as they are.

Questions from Fairbanks bar owners

Is this really useful in a town this size?

Small towns are where it shines: word travels, and the one bar where guests control the music becomes the one bar guests talk about.

Can I run karaoke night without renting equipment?

Yes. From the Professional plan up, karaoke comes on the same screen with lyrics and a credit-based singer queue — nothing to rent.

Does the internet in a roadhouse handle it?

Yes. The song video streams once to your TV; guests' phones only request — the bandwidth is the same as playing a YouTube clip.

How do I charge for requests?

You generate credit codes from your dashboard and decide how many you hand out or sell. You are in control of the price.
