As concerts around the globe have come to a halt, the
National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) has formed to fight for the survival of independent venues, their employees, artists, fans and their communities.
Consisting of more than 800 venues, including L.A.’s
Troubadour, Philadelphia’s
World Cafe Live and N.Y.’s
Hammerstein Ballroom, NIVA, which recently penned a
letter to Congress asking for further aid during the pandemic, has joined forces with
Music Biz and
Live Nation’s
Crew Nation to host a
Zoom webinar discussing efforts to protect independent entertainment hubs and the state of the live-music market.
As a part of a new weekly
Music Biz LIVE interview series, Music Biz President
Portia Sabin will interview
Nurit Smith of the
Crew Nation initiative, along with
Marauder’s
Rev. Moose and
First Avenue’s
Dayna Frank, representing NIVA, today (4/27) at 1pm PT
here.
