The Flow: Live-Streamed Music Events This Week, April 1-7

As spring enters its full bloom, the live-streamed shows carry on. And leading on that front is the band Devil Train, whose pre-COVID in-house residency at B-Side Bar quickly translated into weekly virtual concerts from the band for most of last year. They’ve been back at it for a few weeks now, with no sign of slowing. Don’t sleep on their jams, and, as always, tip generously.

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, March 4-10

Though outdoor shows are blooming with spring, live-streams are also enjoying an uptick. Case in point: Devil Train is now back on track with their regular Thursday-night, online residency at B-Side Bar. The same venue is also hosting two other shows this weekend, including Friday’s record release party for the latest by Late Bloom, a Michael Graber project. Meanwhile, the usual suspects carry on the noble tradition of virtual residencies from all manner of locations throughout the city, refusing to jump the gun when it comes to audience and performer safety. Check them all out and be sure to tip generously.
