For its 54th annual awards extravaganza, the Country Music Association only wanted to ignore our tense elections, pretend the coronavirus doesn’t exist, and shove their fingers in their ears while yelling “la la la” whenever the real world interfered.

In big, bold letters, they listed No. 7 as “No drama, just music.” The ad explained, “It’s been a year, y’all. But for three hours next Wednesday on ABC, this is a no-drama zone.” And lo, the drama began. Americana-country singer Margo Price slammed the tweet, pointing...

Eventbrite Executive Sees Potential in Virtual Concerts Post-COVID
During a recent call with investors pertaining to their Q3 2020 earnings, the CFO of Eventbrite, Lanny Baker, explained how digital events continue to impact the live music industry. Citing dramatic increases to digital event ticket sales before the pandemic, Baker detailed the growth and made note of potential opportunities for virtual shows in the future. “When the in-person events have recovered and people have moved from their computer screens back into the real world, we’ve seen that next shift back, but we’re still talking about 10%, 20%, 30% of ticket volume being for virtual events.
