A Roundup of Nashville Musicians' Livestream Concerts [Updated]

With tours canceled and venues shuttered temporarily as we attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19, musicians are doing their best to adapt. In addition to providing ways to buy albums and other merch (available online through local record stores, too), many have also organized one-time livestream events or recurring streams from their homes or home studios. Some are accepting tips to help offset their own costs from lost work, and others are collecting funds for other causes.

Below, we'll keep a running list of streams organized by local folks that we'll update as often as possible. Keep an eye on your favorite musician's social media — opportunities to catch a show from the comfort of home while helping them out with a few dollars sometimes come up quickly.

A couple of quick links:

a running list of organizations offering assistance to musicians. Included are national-level nonprofits like The Recording Academy's

and the Nashville-based

, as well as organizations listed by state, including the

union local 257. If you need assistance or would like information on how to donate, click through for more details.

Also, we've been keeping a running list of local venues that have established community funds for displaced staffers and business expenses. And if you want to tip a local service industry worker as you drink at home, the serviceindustry.tips platform has you covered with a way to tip an individual at random via their online pay app of choice — here's the Nashville tip link.
