Show Your Support for Independent Music Venues Before It's Too Late

We can all agree that this is totally Bummer Summer, right? Frankly, having all our concerts and festivals cancelled for the foreseeable future sucks, no matter how necessary it might be.

Our one glimmer of hope is that we can enjoy live music again when it’s safe to do so, but sadly as cases of COVID-19 are still climbing, it’s becoming clear that many of our beloved independent music venues will not survive the continued shutdown without long term support.

We know that money is tight for so many of us, but nagging your elected officials to do something about this (since it’s, you know, their job) is always free.

You can take action right now to encourage your representatives to support the NIVA S. 3814/H.R. 7481, the RESTART act.

The RESTART act will give your favorite venues the support they need to stay afloat until is it’s safe to reopen. These 3 simple ways to show your support only take a minute.

  1. Email Your Representatives. This form will generate the message and email addresses for you. It only takes seconds

  2. Call them. Find Senators' phone numbers here and House of Representatives phone numbers here.

  3. Share this with all your music loving friends, right now. Use hashtag #SaveYourStages

Thank you for supporting live music. We are looking forward to seeing you at a show. In the meantime stay safe and stream a concert!

Stay home when you can, wear a mask when you can’t, and wash your hands.
