Catch live performances from your
favorite local artists this Saturday at the Band Together Online Music
Festival.
The festival aims to showcase New
Orleans stars alongside emerging talent, while giving back to the New Orleans
music community by raising money to support musicians during the pandemic.
The lineup will feature PJ Norton, Tank and the Bangas, John Cleary, Ivan Neville, Kermit Ruffins, Nigel Hall, Cupid, Water Seed, and many others.
Proceeds from the festival will
benefit New Orleans musicians who are struggling to make a living now that gigs
and events are postponed or canceled. April is often the busiest month for
musicians, with Jazz Fest and the related tourism, which amplifies the
loss.
The benefit aims to reach one
million viewers worldwide and hopes to be able to supply each applicant with a
grant of at least $500 to put towards rent and other essentials.
