Relief for our music venues in the 518

Donation protected
Greetings from the bunker. In this ever changing situation the world finds itself in, I hope this message finds you all well.  I have been a lover of music all my life. Words cannot describe what the local 518 music scene has meant to me. From being an awkward kid behind a drum kit, to an aging awkward kid that is still a massive fan. In my humble opinion, there is NOTHING like a live music show. From the anticipation weeks before the show, walking into the venue and seeing the stage, the lights going down, and that first note or the lead in before the band hits the stage. Gets me excited just thinking about it.  I know I am not alone in these feelings (with the possible exception of being awkward).   Recently, the outbreak of this pandemic, this asshole called COVID-19, has put a lot of things on hold for everyone. Vacations, the ability to work, the schooling of our children, hell even a simple trip to the store. Everything was forced to close, no gatherings, and definitely with no warning.  That being said, Ill get to the point if you're still reading this. Our music venues in the area have been hit HARD with this pandemic. Forcing them to close immediately, with a full schedule of shows that had to be postponed or cancelled. Most places this is how the bills are paid, and for that income to stop suddenly is putting a burden on the owners, some facing dire consequences i'm sure. This fundraiser is to assist Chrome in getting through the covid-19 pandemic. The fundraiser is designed to take 100% of the proceeds and give it directly to a few of the clubs in the 518 that need it the most. Think of it as investing in the local music scene. Keep these clubs alive so we can all enjoy live music when this whole thing sorts itself out. We really need your help guys. All you local music people that are posting "cant wait to see live shows again", Lets invest in the future of our music scene. Thank you for reading, and for your generous donation.
