Bowery Ballroom, United Palace, Town Hall, Baby's All Right, Elsewhere, City Winery, Le Poisson Rouge, Saint Vitus, Joe's Pub and Union Pool are just a few of the NYC venues part of NYIVA which seeks aid for independent venues that have been closed during COVID-19.
”Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open,” a statement from the National Independent Venue Association reads.
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.
Carnegie Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, Town Hall, Public Records, The Shed, House of Yes, Knockdown Center, and Basement are among the venues temporarily shuttering to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
