Segment 2 with Eric of Royal Honey Your song, SOS 2020 started its own movement and you can get the whole story on how the song is raising money for NIVA’s Emergency Relief fund. It has also sparked its own concert series with season 2 starting on April 8, 2021. This season features Singer Songwriter Night, a Blues Night, a Jazz Night, and a Metal Night. We discuss Winter Descent’s new track, Fortune. We also talk about the community building that came out of the SOS 2020 project: being able to invite bands that weren’t necessarily involved in the song, involvement from places like First Angel Media. How the project brought about new relationships within the music scene. We also have a Pre-Show Podcast interview series that evolved from the project. Shoutout to Nightlife Line. They are building a hospitality and nightlife worker fund that will distribute modest cash grants to people in our industries whose incomes and ability to work have been affected by COVID-19.
