Now we’re talking. Or listening, at least. Musicals, musical biopics and streaming concerts are getting hot, so wire up the good speakers and get to it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… music is a key to keeping us connected. So check out NPRs fine, fine list of upcoming concert streams. Bookmark it. Bookmark us. Set some notifications on your phone. Feel all the goodness you can hear:)
Make this Sunday night family time with this super fun line-up of singers and great Disney songs. We’ve got some John Legend and Jennifer Hudson. We’ve got some Katy Perry. We’ve got some Halsey. See the whole line-up here!
I’m truly sorry I didn’t get this one up for you in real-time, but this great program of top-notch Colorado musicians plays on! (And so does your opportunity to donate.) The Lumineers, OneRepublic, Nathaniel Rateliff, Jewell and Isaac Slade and many, MANY more serenade the effort from home in a beautifully personal way. Go Colorado!
If you’ve never binged a bunch of Tiny Desk concerts, you’re really missing something. And don’t ya know… here’s your chance! To me, it’s like a very intimate version of what I always imagined those old rock ‘n roll reviews to be like… a couple of songs, then on to the next band. And a great way to find some new faves, people:)
UPDATE: I’m keeping this up for another week, because it’s so damn good. The 92nd Street Y in NYC is an absolute institution, and any time you got a ticket to anything there, you knew your mind, heart and soul would grow that night. There are daily free streams from the archive, and now the Vault is open, too! You could literally binge on the archive of amazing concerts, conversations and performances here for weeks! To encourage you to poke around, it’s our Pin of the Week!
If it seems like I’m posting lots of music to binge lately, it’s because I am. Music fills the place you’re holing up in with much-needed joy! And Live Nation’s awesome weekly list is loaded with goodness, including an Ozomatli Cinco de Mayo fundraiser tonight, and so much more, oh yes:)
If you even have a passing interest, just a mere curiosity, even the slightest tickle of wanting to know what made the Beasties so special, bust on over to catch the trailer for the new Spike Jonze docu right now. And if you already love the band, I hope you clicked away two sentences ago. This is a great, great story folks.
There’s a lot of buzz about the Beasties right now, with the Apple TV+ documentary and all. But Consequence of Sound takes us on a tour through 10 of their best videos for a mini-music binge that will really fire you up. So fire it up!
It’s never bad to start your day with a song, or in this case, a songbook. To celebrate Stephen Sondheim’s 90th birthday, performers streamed in together from around the world to bring his music to life. It’s beautiful and fascinating to watch. The intimate streaming style that has evolved over these last couple of months really brings you closer to the music.
This is a great page to check out… Live from Home concerts this week streaming on Facebook, IG, Twitch and YouTube. You’ve got everything from Bob Weir Wednesdays to daily dance breaks for kids here. The list of bands here is long and impressive, so def check out what Live Nation is serving up!
The NYTimes will take you right to the gala, which is features performers playing live across nine time zones! The gala will only remain available to play back through Sunday afternoon, so don’t miss it. Shout out to Beth for the link!
Set your alarms and get ready for the Second Weekend of Jazz Festing in Place, this Thursday through Sunday starting at 11:00 CST each day. I can’t recommend this enough! Good ol’ WWOZ in NO is kicking out a set of classics to fill your daily “cubes” and fill your house with PURE JOY! Jazz Fest vets know what I mean, and now you can, too!
