East Coast Music Artists Take Hit With COVID-19
Concerts on Facebook Takes Place
By John Gavin, Saturday, March 28, 2020

 

ASAaronLewisApril122018.jpgThe East Coast Musicians are taking a hit with the Covid-19 Virus. Most musicians are housebound and have cancelled all their gigs and have little or no income coming in to pay the bills. Some artists have had bookings in March and April in Europe including Australia and had to cancel them all as well as throughout the Maritimes and most of Canada.

Many of the artists are turning to facebook to entertain and pick up a few dollars.

One artist in particular is Aaron Lewis (left photo) former member of the disbanded Carlton Showband and CB Fiddler Kimberley Fraser has started concerts called Concert in Quarantine on facebook live with guests each show.

Viewers can request songs and Aaron asks on each show, perhaps would like to give tips to help out the musicians.

They can go to www.paypal.me/aaron lewis or aaronlewis@me.com. All funds received go in a pool to distribute to artists and others who put their live concerts together while travelling to venues.

Concert in Quarantine is on facebook on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 pm EDT and Sundays at 4 pm EDT.

For an example, special guest on the Tuesday March 31 show will be Cape Breton Fiddler Howie MacDonald.

Lets all join to help Aaron for the cause and spread the word.
