  Going forward I hope you readers will continue to come here to learn about opportunities to interact virtually and show support to your favorite artists. As artists share information it will be added to the article below. We hope this will help you better tolerate this time of staying at home due to the challenges of the COVID-19 virus. As a reminder, our weekly calendar has become inactive, however we will continue to share information submitted by readers giving information on ways to connect and support your favorite artists and venues in the article below. 
Please continue to reach out through social media to the bands and musicians whose shows you may end up missing in order to encourage them as we all face this reality of required social distancing. Let them know you care, let them know how their music brightens your world, and if you are in a position to do so, support them through online means.
