Posted @withregram • @nito_live NITO is proud to unite and partner with additional organizations and coalitions comprised of small, independent businesses fighting to survive the financial impact of the pandemic. We have refined and communicated to our representatives our individual needs, but we recognize the interconnectedness of our industries and the need for legislative help. Together, we urgently demand action by way of a comprehensive pandemic relief bill. Congress, please #DoNotAbandonUS.

Learn how you can join us at DoNotAbandonUS.com (link in @nito_live bio)

The live events industry employs over 12 million people in the US and contributes nearly $1 trillion into the US economy annually.

We need you to take action and push Congress to pass the #RESTARTAct and the #saveourstagesact. Time is running out. Head to SaveOurStages.com to send a message to your legislators today.

Join us and a few of our friends, @lbvwinery, @rosemusichall, @the_blue_note and many more in supporting Missouri musicians and industry folks on Sept. 5.

MoMusicAid.com for more info

We applaud the new bipartisan Save Our Stages Act introduced this week in Congress. The SOS Act would provide Small Business Administration grants for independent live music promoters affected by COVID-19. We NEED the #SaveOurStagesAct and #RestartAct passed in order to keep events like us from closing permanently. Please share and send in the new letter to Congress at SaveOurStages.com

The health and safety of our community has always been our highest priority. Because of this, we have been carefully deliberating whether or not to hold the Roots N Blues Festival in 2020. The exact timing for when it will become safe for us to operate still remains unclear. Today, we have reached the conclusion that it is in the best interest of our staff, volunteers, artists, crews, and patrons that we postpone the Roots N Blues Festival to 2021.
We have been communicating with other entertainment industry professionals across the country about the state of live music events as we all navigate our way through this time of unprecedented uncertainty. In alliance with our fellow festival promoters, we are choosing to postpone our event until a time when it is safe for the return of the communal experience of live music.
We have successfully retained 95% of our planned 2020 lineup for 2021 and are hopeful that the remaining artists will confirm soon. More lineup information will be available later this summer.

We're excited to gather with you for the Roots N Blues Festival on September 24-26, 2021. All passes purchased for the 2020 festival will be honored for the 2021 event and no action is needed on your part. Your wristbands will be shipped to you next summer. We are partnering with Lyte to provide a service for those that are unable to attend the dates in 2021. More information can be found at rootsnbluesfestival.com

The Roots N Blues Festival is unique to the industry, as it is not owned by a larger entity. Instead, it is owned by three middle-class Missourians who recognize the importance of community and what live music contributes to the human experience. Despite a global pandemic, we continue to uphold these values.

Sincerely,
Shay Jasper, Tracy Lane and Jamie Varvaro, owners of Trio Presents,
promoter of the Roots N Blues Festival

Thank you @voxdotcom for this piece on Juneteenth and why we must honor and celebrate it each year.
Posted @withregram • @voxdotcom #Juneteenth is a 155-year-old holiday that is celebrated all over the world, but some people are learning more about it this year. Here’s a quick look back at the holiday honoring one of America’s earliest emancipation moments.⁣
⁣
Juneteenth commemorates an important moment in history: It marks the day that thousands of slaves in Texas were informed of their freedom, on June 19, 1865, nearly two and half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The following year, newly freed black people celebrated the first Juneteenth with food, singing, and the reading of spirituals. Now, nearly every state and Washington, DC, have recognized Juneteenth as an official holiday or observance, and the global diaspora has adopted the holiday to recognize emancipation at large.⁣
⁣
Despite Juneteenth’s significance, its history is rarely covered much in US school curricula, and it is not observed as a federal holiday. But this year, calls for Juneteenth to be designated a national holiday have grown stronger amid a climate seeking justice for black lives, and Juneteenth has entered the public spotlight at a swift, unprecedented scale. In any case, whether you are learning about Juneteenth for the first time or have been celebrating it for years, today recognizes a pivotal moment of emancipation — and the traumatic legacy of slavery — in America.⁣
