As we all attempt to enjoy and make the best of indoor life, many musicians have decided to perform concerts for fans online.
Some musicians are trying to make up for lost wages (due to canceled/postponed tours) by offering discounts on their merch or selling tickets to their online shows.
Others, such as Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, just want to do something nice for fans. As he details in the message below, he’ll be performing an acoustic show on YouTube & Facebook everyday for the next few weeks.
Be it with DCFC, Postal Service, or solo I have always been grateful for the honor you have bestowed upon us by choosing to congregate en masse around our music. Some of you have traveled great distances and/or shelled out large sums of money to see us play and that has never been lost on me. So in this crazy unprecedented time, I’d like to return my favor by coming to you.
You can view his full statement below, as well as watch his live performance right here everyday at 6pm CST.
Tune into https://t.co/mGtxzmvl3A to see Ben livestream for the next few weeks at 4pm PST daily. pic.twitter.com/Llt2syGHvT
