The summer concert season has ended before it began. There's a growing concern that live performances at venues won't be back anytime soon until it's perfectly safe for both fans and performers. Celebrity recording stars like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber broke the news to followers on Twitter that their tours were canceled for 2020. On the local level, festivals and other public events are canceled as well. To fill the void, musicians, recording artists, bands, and symphonies are connecting with their fans at home who are missing the live music experience. Virtual concerts have sparked a new way for musical artists to bond with their fan base. So let's gather and enjoy live music while social distancing safely at home!  Head back to 62 Days of Summer for more ways to participate in the summer program!
