Let's hope we can find the guidance and inspiration needed to forge ahead and create new memories together.

Our Industry isn’t coming back like yours is.
I know financial insecurity abounds many of us currently but we will all come back. Any little amount helps.
Some all time great venues need your support.

The Bottleneck The Granada Theater Eleven Productions Presents Mammoth Liberty Hall stands with @NIVAssoc to request specific federal support for independent venues and promoters across the country during the indefinite shutdown. #SaveOurStages
this week the national independent venue association issued a letter to congress requesting assistance while our businesses remain closed. independent venues are the pillars of downtown lawrence kansas. concerts bring people to our community, not only do they attend our shows, but they also eat dinner, they shop in our local stores, buy records, drink coffee, they stay at a hotel, and fill up with gas before they go.
being independent, is the spirit of who i am and why i do what i do for a living, and why i live where i live. i hope congress will help support those who independently book concerts in communities.
if you wish to help out locally buy some merch from our awesome venues. Pride of Gumbo - Screenprintmaking will get your merch out lickity split https://www.prideofgumbo.com/lawrencecovidrelief.html#/
1099 and Sole proprietors- I have spent the past 5 weeks navigating the SBA and Stimulus loans and I am here to help you.
I have been frustrated that big banks aren't funding to the people that need the support. I reached out to assist my local freelancers and found a bank that is willing to help with the loan process even if you don't currently bank with them.
Email me at ppp@digitalsoundsystems.com and I will share what I know and connect you.
Please share with your friends or colleagues that may need help. These loans aren't just for big business.
Interesting statistics about our industry and the toll the Covid-19 Pandemic is having.

I have always enjoyed working with @ericchurch and his team. They have and remain to be down to earth and what you see is what you get. I caught his expectance speech last night at the CMA's and thought I would share. In his lyrics and his thoughts, he finds away to be eloquent in simple terms. I pray that he is right so we can come back together through music so we can re-assemble our team and get back to entertaining fans across the globe.
Check it out. https://youtu.be/6QjK2pZ2wtU
