The music industry continues to reel as a result of the impact the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is having on the global economy.

While a number of artists were forced to postpone their respective tours, most spring concert festivals (i.e. Coachella, SXSW, etc.) are doing the same in an attempt to curtail spread of the disease.  And, while the postponements and cancellations merely come as scheduling inconveniences for some, for many others they are a matter of survival.

The live music industry employs hundreds of thousands – from musicians to sound and light engineers, dancers, set crew, and hourly customer service workers at venues.  In an effort to ensure they’re not forgotten, members of the Music Artists Coalition and their supporters are banding together to petition Trump and the United States Congress for direct financial relief on their behalf.
