On March 26 2020, within two weeks of the announcement of devastating cancellations caused by the world health situation, our first installment was streaming live, featuring vocalist Jackie Gage. In those early days, our twice-weekly live streams featured dozens of artists and raised thousands of dollars, all of which went to support the basic needs of the musicians. 

For audiences, the series was a releif to the isolation of quarantine and a new way to discover new artists. We soon realized that, much like a performance in a brick-and-mortar venue, the live streams helped satisfy audiences' craving for community. When watching on Facebook Live, we began to see "regulars." Attendees greeted each other and supported each other's comments. And we devised ways to moderate these comments for the artists, so they could repond in real time.

In July 2020, the series received a "reboot" with nationally-known artists with better sound and video captured from across the globe. But the important things remain the same—high-quality music; interaction between the artist and audience; and the palpable sense of being together.
