Dead And Company Summer Tour CANCELLED
The effects of the coronavirus hit the music business & industry first and will likely be the last industry to get back to normal. While cities and states grapple with their timelines to reopen the economy and the process that will be implemented, it is clear that large gatherings of people will be the last bridge to cross in the attempt to get life back to normal.
It is anticipated that a number of bands will be following suit in weeks to come. There is hope for small gathering events and potentially outdoor events, so don’t lose all hope for live music in 2020. Ultimately, the music scene is nothing with out fans, so protecting the well being of music fans and everyone for that matter is the most important thing to consider at this time.
