Some Updates to our COVID Rules:

We have added a Corsi-Rosenthal Box to our air purifier team

We now have FREE RAPID TESTS available for every show!*

We are now allowing singers or wind players (or other performers for whom wearing a mask is restrictive) to opt out of masking during their set by testing negative within 12 hours (or ideally closer) of the show. We would still challenge all artists to remain masked. Practice singing in a few different styles to see which has the best fit, make sure we have enough fans set up so you don't feel too hot, and let us know if there's anything we can do to support you in this! Obviously you can't play wind/reed instruments in a mask, but we will continue to add improvements to our ventilation and air purification to make shows as safe as we can.

*Did you know that if everyone at an event tests immediately before coming to an event, it can reduce transmission of COVID by up to 40%? (Int J Public Health, July 2022)

Update RE: Last weekend's show

Thank you so much to everyone who donated on Saturday, despite us having to cancel the show.

We were able to donate $100 to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, an important organization that offers jail support, bail funds, and more to activists who are arrested. From their website: "By supporting arrestees, we show that nobody in our movements will be left behind. Solidarity builds trust and makes us all feel stronger." If you haven't donated and would like to, click here! For more information on ways to support this important movement, check out https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/

Those on the ground fighting to defend Atlanta’s Weelaunee Forest are facing brutal charges and repression, while mourning their dear friend and comrade who was murdered by police last month. Your donations are so valuable right now, and we are so grateful that even when a show doesn’t go as planned that we will always show up for one another.

We also want to shout out the incredible bands that were unable to play! We hope you will be able to catch them at another show, but if you'd like to give them a listen/buy some of their music or merch, here's where to find them:
