What is the future of live music venues? How are the few venues that are open creating a safe space for attendees to see their favorite artists? What really goes on behind the scenes of keeping their doors open and what can we do to save our stages?

On today’s show, I talk about the current state of shows and how 3 specific venues in Austin, Far Out Lounge, Empire Control Room & Garage and Antone’s, have shifted their traditional event models to adapt to the current times. You’ll hear 3 VERY different perspectives on each of these venues and how you can help to save our stages so we can bring back live music safely and responsibly.
