#RedAlertRESTART

[aldrinlights]

Nick, James, Felix and myself started a boy band to raise awareness. We still can't play a gig due to covid though. But all jokes aside, Our industry was the first to shut down and will be one of the last to reopen.

Usually you don't see any of us because we work to entertain and are barely seen by the public. Tonight however you will see us. We will be lighting up venues across the county in red from 9pm to midnight.

Live events employ over 12 million people.

Live events contributes over $1 trillion annually to the US economy.

95% of live events have been cancelled due to COVID-19.

96% of companies have cut staff and/or wages.

77% of people in the live events industry have lost 100% of their income, including 97% of 1099 workers.

Let Congress know we need them to get to work and pass the RESTART Act and extend PUA & FPUC.

#redalertrestart This photo is from the last time I was able to perform onstage, and the last time I had performed at all until today. This was back in February. 7 months ago, but it feels like a different lifetime from now. Please help #saveourstages not just for the performers, but for all the people whose work is integral to the shows and art you enjoy and is done behind the scenes. It’s another #nationaldanceday and I am so lucky to have been able to perform today with my new company. Not on a stage, but dancing for an audience all the same. #aributleradventure #arifantastique (at Clowes Memorial Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFV5w2tAZJn/?igshid=18qqar3dus9xm

On Sept 1st, 2020, this was filmed from an attendee POV of the national march and rally for entertainment, staging, and live event workers as we push road cases through downtown streets, bringing awareness to the troubling state of the industry. The event saw venues, businesses, and music lovers light the city in red to show support.

This photo makes me happy and worried all at once. Happy cause I love doing what I’m doing in the picture. I love those gents. And, I love music! What makes me worried is that many a venue that we have played, and so many others before us as well, may have to shut their doors. This pandemic has certainly changed “normal,” and I know in my heart of hearts that live music will eventually return. But, right now these venues need a hand! How many of you have had many of the best nights of your life at a show or concert? I know I have! Save our stages!
