Description

As concert halls and live music venues sit empty during this pandemic, the Canadian Live Music Coalition says 90 per cent of them are at risk of closing forever. Can they be saved through government support, some crazy scheme or is the hope of a vaccine their best bet? Jonny Dovercourt, co-founder and artistic director of Wavelength Music Series and author of “Any Night of the Week: A D.I.Y. History of Toronto Music (1957-2001),” joins us to discuss if the bands will play on.
