The State of Music Business in Chicago Amidst COVID-19

The current state of the world has vastly changed right before our eyes, and while trying to be safe and healthy, many are striving to navigate professionally through it all. Performers and music industry professionals have been severely impacted. Festivals and music concerts are now cancelled, so they now must come up with new and creative ways to connect with their audiences.

Oftentimes when we think of entrepreneurs, we sometimes forget those in creative spaces, such as music. However, indie music artists are entrepreneurs as well. Their talent is their product/service, their name is their brand, and they all face similar obstacles as any other small business owner during this time.

On May 18, 2020, Agency Abron will host a virtual panel discussion to discuss The State of Music Business in Chicago Amidst COVID-19. During this discussion, there will be a chat with various music influencers on how they are maneuvering during this pandemic, along with tips and suggestions for their colleagues in the industry.

• Patrice N. Perkins - Principal Attorney, Creative Genius Law
• RJ Griffith - Artist
• Tori Denham - Assistant Director - Venues, Sofar Sounds Ltd | LLC

Past featured guests included Grammy winners, executives from Pandora, working artists, mangers, booking agents and music journalists.

Agency Abron has led several discussions on the music industry in Chicago since 2017. The conversations started because many music professionals mentioned the need to discuss the state of the music industry in Chicago.

With the new landscape, this conversation is now more important than ever before. Guests can join the virtual conversation for free by registering at https://stateofmusic2020.event...
