Livestream Selections to Check Out This Week (July 13-18)
Image courtesy of Indigo GirlsAs we continue to figure out how to navigate this strange, new isolated world, more and more artists are turning to alternative methods for getting their music straight to fans. While concerts, tours and festivals are being suspended or straight-up canceled around the globe, musicians are, in turn, bringing virtual performances to their fans.
We already rounded up a few folks who are bringing all-encompassing quarantine content to your Instagram feed. Here, however, is a more comprehensive calendar for specific livestreams happening on a daily basis. Check this space throughout the week (July 13-18) for new additions, and don’t forget to tip/support the artists you love during this ongoing crisis.
