Tower Theatre announces Live [Stream] from Ponyboy, a realtime broadcast from the Uptown 23rd Street bar featuring musical performances from local artists. The event was created to support the local music community and to provide social connection in response to mass suspension of public gatherings, restaurants and bar service.
This week’s performances:
Jabee - March 19
Carter Sampson Trio - March 20
Tyson Meade - March 21
Greyson Chance - March 22
The one hour shows will be broadcast live across Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Vimeo and Twitch at 8 pm thanks to Mostly Harmless Media. Streaming concerts will be closed to the public in keeping with CDC guidelines. The show will include a 45 performance and short interview with Chad Whitehead, Patchwork Presents Talent Buyer and Tower Theatre Operating Partner.
“This is a really challenging time for artists and the music industry,” said Whitehead. “Tower and Ponyboy will be back soon, but we wanted to do something creative that helps artists while we wait to reopen.”
