The Flow: Live-Streamed Music Events This Week, May 6-12

Even as some artists tap on the brakes of their live-streamed shows, others are still testing the waters. Memphis Public Libraries, for instance, are deep in the thick of their Five Fridays of Jazz series. And some artists below are gearing up to play Mother’s Day-themed music. So be sure to tip the band twice: once for you, and once for your mom.

Live-streaming is cranking back up for the Halloween weekend! Though many venues are offering in person shows, the virtual game is also strong in the days to come. Tonight’s Beale & Peachtree event is especially intriguing: a celebration of the bonds between Memphis and Atlanta, with Black Cream playing live in Royal Studios. Other events abound! Check them out, stay safe, and be sure to tip your favorite performers.

REMINDER: The Memphis Flyer supports social distancing in these uncertain times. Please live-stream responsibly. We remind all players that even a small gathering could recklessly spread the coronavirus and endanger others. If you must gather as a band, please keep all players six feet apart, preferably outside, and remind viewers to do the same.

The Flow: Live-Streamed Music Events This Week, October 22-28

Optic Sink

One may not often tune in to a live-streamed concert for the setting. Often they’re broadcast from someone’s den. But you have to admit, Optic Sink’s billing, “Live ON the Lamplighter,” is intriguing. What are they on about? Tune in and see. Or check out the indefatigable Devil Train, live from B-Side Bar, for a bit of that live-venue frisson, squished down into your device of choice. Of course, joining a musician in their den, man-cave or woman-cave can be a whole experience. We’re sure they’d love to have you!

REMINDER: The Memphis Flyer supports social distancing in these uncertain times. Please live-stream responsibly. We remind all players that even a small gathering could recklessly spread the coronavirus and endanger others.

The Flow: Live-Streamed Music Events This Week, July 16-22

Yubu

Dying to hear some music, but still wary of getting out in public? Speak with your doctor: a live-streamed concert might be right for you. There are no side effects, but there is a mild risk of cutting a rug in your living room. Also, note how many of these shows are fundraisers. People continue to pull together during these challenging times. Please help the musicians and their respective causes!

Memphis Flyer Music Blog to List Live-Streamed Performances

Erica Winchester

Graham Winchester live-streaming from his home studio.

Memphis musicians, who are deeply familiar with improvising, are quickly adapting to the new reality of the quarantined life now with a plethora of live-streamed events. And they are attracting music fans like never before. Once often considered an after-thought, a footnote to actual events in brick-and-mortar venues, live-streamed concerts are now the only way music fans can hear fresh sounds.

Accordingly, the Memphis Flyer will be making as comprehensive a list of live-streamed events as possible, every week here in the Flyer‘s music blog. We ask that all musical performers wishing to list an event do so in the form of a direct message to our music blog’s Twitter account, @memphlyermusic. This can be as simple as a link to the event on your social media or app of choice, or a written description of the performer(s) and platform, including the date and time, of course!

Because our emails are often inundated with other promotional messages, we ask that you use this Twitter account to alert us to your online shows. Do so by 5 p.m. every Wednesday to be included in listings that cover the week to come, to be posted every Thursday morning.

As we see it, this may be the new normal for some time, and even after COVID-19 tests or vaccines are more widespread, the live-streaming will likely go on at this ramped-up rate. Jump in on the ground floor of our listings, and you’ll be on our radar as we expand the attention we focus on live-streamed events. Watch this space for the day when we first post a review of a live-streamed show!

Until then, hone both your playing and your video-selfie chops and get ready to go virtual. Everyone’s doing it!
