We’re continuing to hunker down in New Orleans, a live music city effectively shut down completely by the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that doesn’t mean the music has stopped. Instead, musicians are performing online, via websites and social media. We’re working to compile weekly listings of some of those performances. Below, you’ll find a list of events already submitted to us, and taking place March 25-April 1. To add your online performance to the Weekly Stream, or a future list, please send an email to [email protected] and cc: [email protected] with the following info:
