The coronavirus pandemic has caused clubs and other performance venues to close down, meaning many of the region’s musicians and other performers are out of work. Musicians are finding ways to adjust to a new socially distanced normal – hosting concerts on online platforms like Instagram Live.
Meanwhile, the nation is dealing with calls for racial equity and police reform, as protests erupted over the deaths of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Breonna Taylor and countless others. Now, artists are finding ways to use their craft and their platforms to spread messages of racial justice.
We’re checking in with local musicians, Aaron Myers and Christylez Bacon to talk about the protests, the pandemic, and their passions.
