This week and the months rolling forward include some concerts outside of the virtual sphere. We support social distancing and remaining isolated if you’re at high risk for COVID-19, but we also wanted to highlight the local businesses finding safe ways to bring live entertainment back.
We will continue to promote both virtual and in-person small concerts with safe guidelines. To be considered please email Michael.Tristch@303magazine.com
