“People have told me it is really nice to have something uplifting, fun, and light to look forward to in the week. I have loved seeing so many artist friends doing the same thing as well. Everyone finds their unique way of providing a special music-based refuge/recharge for their audiences, which is very welcome amidst the constant intensity of our current situation.
Music is so important to all of us in our daily lives. But I think given everything that’s happening right now, its value has become immeasurable for lifting spirits, and inspiring hope for a better tomorrow. We’re stronger together, and music is one of the glues that gives us a place to collect and build each other up.”
