Uniting Northern Wisconsin Musicians and Their Fans During the Era of Social Distancing
Although Northwoods LIVE was founded in 2010 to create a comprehensive northern Wisconsin concert listing, it is pivoting its focus to bring together the region’s beloved musicians and their fans as our community are impacted by COVID-19.
History has shown us that the most profound creativity is often borne out of challenges, obstacles, and limits. In a similar vein, this difficult period of time has seen an inspiring outpouring of heart and soul by many of our community members of all walks of life. Around the globe, musicians are grappling with a profound loss of income as Safer At Home and other similar orders have necessitated the cancellation of their performances—in many cases, indefinitely. In the face of this challenge, however, many musicians and other performers are connecting with their fans via live streams and video concerts.
So while social distancing remains in effect, Northwoods LIVE is transitioning to be a comprehensive source of information about the live streams and other content provided by musicians who play in and around the Northwoods region. Fans are encouraged to enjoy the music from the safety of their homes and support these artists through “digital tip jars.” This is also a great opportunity to check out new-to-you Northwoods bands so you can make sure to check out their in-person shows in the future.
After restrictions are lifted, Northwoods LIVE intends to continue to provide a detailed calendar of local performances. Whether you’re looking for a list of virtual live shows for the upcoming weekend or you’re eager to be in the know about future in-person shows in the Northwoods, your first step is to check out the Northwoods LIVE Facebook page for more information.
