Earlier this month, OffBeat announced that d.b.a and Preservation have teamed up with StageIt, The buzzy tech app that offers once-in-a-lifetime live streaming opportunities. The program allows venues to join the platform and livestream their shows, with or without an audience present. In addition, the platform offers state of the art hardware installs, technical training and on site production support for venues that join the program. In keeping with the company’s model from inception, all shows will be live and never archived, in keeping with the traditions and the tenets of storied live music venues.
The following performances are scheduled for livestreaming at d.b.a. for October. Tickets are available at https://www.stageit.com/dbaLIVE.
The following performances are scheduled for livestreaming at Preservation Hall for October. Tickets are available at https://www.stageit.com/PreservationHall.
“As a local bar and performance venue we were hugely impacted by COVID-19,” said Tom Thayer, Owner and Manager of d.b.a. “Partnering with StageIt really afforded us the unique opportunity to present the same artists that fans have come to expect at our club. While we’re still in this limbo period of not knowing when we can welcome back our patrons, we are now putting on eight to ten shows per week, generating revenue and welcoming musicians back into our venue.”
