support NYC venues while they’re closed during the coronavirus
Music venues in NYC and beyond are temporarily closed to help stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, and like musicians and bands, who are suffering financially while their tours get cancelled, venue staff from bartenders, bouncers, sound technicians and beyond are also going without paychecks while the places they work are closed.
