As we look to reopen our spaces and gather again, we have a historic opportunity to focus our efforts on building a more inclusive, accessible industry. Patrons, performers, and employees alike experience obstacles to participating in live music and on Wednesday, April 28th, we'll explore those obstacles (and their solutions) with industry experts. Join us to hear some powerful stories and learn ways big and small to make accessibility a reality for all.
