About Encore Musicians

Encore Musicians is a UK‑based online marketplace that connects clients with vetted live musicians, bands, ensembles, and DJs for events such as weddings, private parties, and corporate functions. Founded in 2014, the company started under the domain tryencore.com and has since grown into one of the largest live‑music booking platforms in the UK, now trading under the Encore Musicians brand at encoremusicians.com. The business is headquartered in London and focuses on making it simple and transparent for anyone to hire professional performers for their event.([encoremusicians.com](https://encoremusicians.com/mixcloud?utm_source=openai))

A charge with a descriptor like “SQ TRYENCORE.COM AppPay” typically reflects a card payment processed via Square (“SQ”) on behalf of Encore Musicians, using their historic branding/URL “tryencore.com.” The actual merchant is Encore Musicians, not Square. This kind of charge may be for a booking deposit, part‑payment, or the remaining balance for a musical act you hired through their platform. Depending on your agreement, charges might appear as one‑off payments for single events or split into multiple transactions (for example, a deposit at confirmation and a final balance closer to the event date).([encoremusicians.com](https://encoremusicians.com/terms?utm_source=openai))

If you don’t recognize the charge, start by checking your email for booking confirmations or invoices from Encore Musicians, looking for the date and amount that match your card statement. If you booked on behalf of a company or household, confirm with colleagues or family members who may have arranged entertainment for an event. You can contact Encore Musicians using the contact form or support email listed on their website, referencing the date, amount, and the last four digits of the card used; they can usually locate the booking and explain the charge. If you still can’t identify the transaction or suspect fraud, you should contact your card issuer promptly to dispute the charge or request a card replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show “SQ TRYENCORE.COM AppPay” instead of Encore Musicians?

The “SQ” prefix indicates that your card was processed by Square, a payment processor. “TRYENCORE.COM” is an older branding and domain used by Encore Musicians. Together, this descriptor means the charge is very likely from a booking you made through Encore Musicians, even though it doesn’t show their current name or domain directly.

What kinds of purchases typically result in a charge from Encore Musicians?

Charges from Encore Musicians are usually related to booking live entertainment—such as a band, string quartet, soloist, or DJ—for an event. You might see a charge for a booking deposit, a final balance before the event date, or a single all‑inclusive payment if you paid the full fee up front through their platform.

Can charges from Encore Musicians be recurring or subscription‑based?

Encore Musicians primarily processes one‑off event bookings rather than ongoing subscriptions. However, you might see more than one charge if your agreement splits payments into a deposit and a final balance, or if you booked multiple acts or add‑ons for different events around the same time.

How can I verify what this Encore Musicians charge was for?

Search your email for messages from encoremusicians.com or Encore Musicians around the transaction date; booking confirmations and invoices typically include the exact amount and date charged. If you have an Encore account, log in to review your booking history. If you still need help, contact Encore Musicians through their website with the date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the booking.

How do I request a refund or change a booking linked to this charge?

Refunds and changes depend on the specific cancellation and refund terms agreed with the musician or band, which are outlined in your Encore booking confirmation and in Encore’s client booking terms. If you need to cancel or amend a booking, contact Encore Musicians support as soon as possible via their help/contact page; they can coordinate with the artist and explain what portion, if any, of your payment is refundable based on the timing and terms.([encoremusicians.com](https://encoremusicians.com/terms?utm_source=openai))

Why did I see an authorization or pending charge from Encore Musicians that later disappeared or changed?

Like many online platforms, Encore Musicians may place an authorization hold on your card to verify funds before a booking is confirmed. This can show up as a pending charge or a slightly different amount. Once the booking is finalized or the hold expires, the pending amount is either captured as the final payment or automatically released by your bank, which can make earlier pending entries disappear or adjust.

How do I contact Encore Musicians if I have questions about this charge?

Go to encoremusicians.com and use the Help or Contact section to send a message to their support team. Include your full name, the email you used when booking, the date and amount of the charge, and the last four digits of the card. Their London‑based team can usually identify your booking and clarify what the payment covered or what options you have for refunds or changes.([encoremusicians.com](https://encoremusicians.com/help/contact?utm_source=openai))
