As a Jazz St. Louis fan, you know well what’s going on in the local arts scene: canceled shows, events that seem to be postponed indefinitely, and a spate of concerts broadcast from living rooms to park benches via phones.
It’s discouraging for patrons, but especially damaging to artists.
Analysts predict that the music industry could lose more than $5 billion during this time—impacting not only musicians but support staff as well. Even once venues start re-opening, limits on crowd capacities and other social distancing measures will further diminish artists’ earning potential for the indefinite future.
Jazz St. Louis is doing what we can to put musicians back to work and provide entertainment to our supporters.
This is part of our mission, and we are happy that we can provide these shows for free to the public while paying musicians.
