Good morning, Chattanooga. ☀️ Who else has been missing some live music? Trista here, and I know I could use some to ease my mind from everything that’s going on. While most in-person concerts and shows may be on hold for now, that doesn’t mean we can’t still hear live, local music or support local artists.

Musicians are still having virtual live performances amid the pandemic thanks to live streaming on social media. And streaming songs from platforms like Spotify or Apple Music helps support your favorite musicians, so add some local love to those summer playlists. If that still doesn’t feel like enough, you can follow their social media pages, share their music with others, and buy their merch. A few artists are even holding in-person shows in the coming weeks for those who feel comfortable with that.
