How to Keep Musicians (and One Another) Alive
By Margaret Renkl, The New York Times (July 5)
The real beauty of an in-person concert is the relationship between the audience and the performer, and among members of the audience. It’s the feeling of being a part of something huge and beautiful and fleeting. A live musical performance, whether it’s in a stadium or in a storied concert hall or in the shabbiest dive bar on the loneliest back street, is a shared experience of transcendence. As Rosanne Cash wrote in a recent essay for The Atlantic, a live performance is an irreplaceable act of reciprocity: “They needed something from me, and giving it to them gave something back to me. I loved them. They knew it.”
What is an Immersive Live Stream Concert?
It's more than great sound and clear video. We want to give you and the artist the feeling that YOU ARE THERE. The performer must know you are with her. You can chat, sing, whoop, and clap out loud. We recommend you put the stream on a big screen & speakers (headphones), and turn it up! Find a great chair and a great beverage then tune-in. Imagine walking down the drive with us to the big house, say hello to proprietors Billy and Dodee on the front porch, and come inside. We'll see you soon!
