Making a Scene Opens Virtual Venue
Making a Scene Opens Virtual Venue
With the current situation with Covid 19 lockdown and the complete shutdown of the gig economy, we feel it's important that we do something to support the indie music community. We will be opening our "Making a Scene" Facebook page as a virtual Venue with a May 1, 2, and 3 kickoff show from Noon to 10pm EST (Noon to 5pm EST on Sunday to accommodate the BMA Awards which start at 5pm). This coincides with our 6th Anniversary of publishing Making a Scene and we feel this is a fitting way to celebrate!
