Jason Isbell Slams 2020 CMAs for ‘Failure to Mention’ John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker & Billy Joe Shaver
Jason Isbell is protesting against the Country Music Association for overlooking some of country’s lost greats during its awards ceremony. In a post late Thursday, the Alabama artist said he and his wife Amanda Shires were dumping their lifetime membership of the CMA after John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver weren’t recognized during the 2020 CMA Awards the previous night. He wrote, “Due to CMAs failure to mention John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver at the CMA’s last night, @amandashires and I have decided to return our membership cards. I doubt anybody will care, but we cared a lot about our heroes.” Due to @CountryMusic’s failure to mention John Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Billy Joe Shaver at the CMA’s last night, @amandashires and I have decided t...

The Future of Festivals? Ticketmaster May Require COVID-19 Vaccination Proof to Attend Concerts
Will verified vaccination speed up the return to traditional live events? While we all drool over the safe return of live events, Ticketmaster is hard at work trying to make it a reality. One idea underway involves verifying fans’ COVID-19 vaccination status before allowing access to future concerts. The news arrives after reports of the potential efficacy of the vaccine—developed by Pfizer and BioNTech—which allegedly has a 90% prevention rate, according to the preliminary analysis. The vaccine was tested on 43,500 people in six countries and so far no safety concerns have been raised. In order to have it ready by the end of the month, the two companies will be applying for emergency approval. Mark Yovich, the president of Ticketmaster, spoke to Billboard t...
The Bass Music Scene is Coming Together to Raise Funds for YAKZ’s Emergency Surgery
A GoFundMe has already raised over $14,000 and a livestream fundraiser featuring SVDDEN DEATH has been planned by Space Yacht and Halcyon. As is the case with many musicians in 2020, bass music mainstay YAKZ has lost his main source of income due to restrictions contrived by the COVID-19 pandemic. That already makes day-to-day life tough for artists who rely on income from live performances and touring, but unfortunately YAKZ is facing even more difficulty than most. The famed electronic producer and DJ has been diagnosed with severe Periodontitis and gum disease, which could spread into his bloodstream and eventually into his heart, a severe diagnosis only made worse by the fact that YAKZ was born with a heart murmur. That murmur would make it even more difficult for him to fight off...
