Nearly five months into a nationwide shutdown that crippled the country’s independent music scene, a growing number of bars and restaurants are welcoming back musicians under COVID-19 precautions. But without a vaccine in sight, uncertainty lingers everywhere
Huge arena concerts won’t be possible until at least next year, which means an evening of live music will look quite different under strict distancing measures. And while outdoor performances at drive-ins and garden parties were all the rage this summer, the cooler weather ahead is pushing some venues to consider ways to safely provide live entertainment indoors.
Preparations for each concert start roughly a week before the show when Edgett’s staff begin making calls to ticket holders with a list of COVID-19 questions: Pritchett’s concerts went off without a hitch, Edgett said, even if some concertgoers found themselves slipping into old habits.“We had to make sure they were still staying in their seats, and their little bubbles we’d given them, and not to get on the dance floor.”
“I’ve been able to get them to agree on a price where the artist is making some money and I am basically breaking even or making a little bit of money,” he said.
