Pandemic: A Documentary About The Impacts of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) on the Entertainment Industry

Covid and the music industry

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A CHALLENGING PANDEMIC. HEAR OUR VOICES AND REMEMBER WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH

For the past year, M'Lynn from Freshwater Events has been interviewing our friends and associates in the music industry, documenting the impacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic on our lives, families, and our business endeavors. If you would care to participate in this documentary, and if a significant portion of your income was associated with the entertainment industry, we would love to talk with you.

21 June | Make Music Day

 

Despite Covid uncertainty, we wanted to let you know that Make Music Day will still be happening on 21 June across the world. Unlike traditional music festivals, Make Music Day is an open invitation for everyone to make music anywhere and everywhere. We hope to be taking over the streets with music on 21 June, but if we can’t, we invite you to join one of the online Make Music Day initiatives that will take place no matter what.

Michigan Venue Trade Group Forms

Scott Hammontree, managing partner for Grand Rapids’ The Intersection, said the new trade group – Michigan Independent Venue and Promoter Association (MIVPA) – gives promoters and music venues “a collective voice” as they scramble for survival.

“Our venues and fans have made enough noise to get the attention of some legislators,” he said. “We hope the new organization and lobbying efforts help complete a bridge to the other side of this.”
