This is a watershed moment for The Flow, as we put this live-streamed music events calendar on ice until needed once more. When we began The Flow on April 16, 2020, there was no telling how the coronavirus pandemic would develop, but we knew that many musicians were continuing to perform online, against all odds. Nowadays, it’s not as common, nor as necessary — for now. We salute Hernando’s Hide-a-Way and B-Side Memphis, the two venues that have continued to offer live-streamed shows locally for the past two years, and we hope that they and others keep doing it. Surely they will, just as surely as Goner TV will carry on sporadically. As Covid continues to disrupt our lives, there’s no telling when we’ll look at live-stream-enabled artists and venues as heroes once again. As ever, make prudent pandemic decisions, and keep tipping those performers, whether online or face-to-face.

This week marks the return of Hernando’s Hide-a-way favorite, Dale Watson. He’s in demand from coast to coast, so his appearances at the club he personally helped to relaunch are understandably rare. Now’s your chance, and thanks to the video/audio infrastructure at the club, live-streaming is a hi-fi experience. The same can be said of B-Side Memphis. Together, the two clubs have kept the live-stream torches burning, and those of us who track the upward surges of the coronavirus are forever grateful.

The Memphis Hang Suite is the brainchild of Charles Streeter, a native Memphian who experienced phenomenal jam sessions with A-list players when he lived in Los Angeles. Now relocated back in his hometown, he’s created a similar scene at Hernando’s Hide-a-Way. On any given Tuesday, you might hear Streeter and the Tribe jamming with the likes of MonoNeon, Jackie Clark, Stanley Randolph, Marcus Scott (who sang with Tower of Power for a time), and many others. “Everybody comes through,” says Streeter. “It’s a really cool hang. No egos. Nobody up there is trying to play all over the place. You still have to play the song. Just be tasteful, be an adult when you’re playing.” And thanks to the good folks at Hernando’s Hide-a-Way, you can watch it all go down through the miracle of the internet, staying safe from a pandemic that still rears its ugly head.

The sheer variety of music available in Memphis is head-spinning. Taking only the live-streamed shows available below (to say nothing of the other bands playing around town), the offerings range from the extended Americana-rooted jams of Devil Train, to the spontaneous music of the city’s top players at the Memphis Hang Suite, to the semi-free/semi-composed instrumentals of David Collins. It’s a cornucopia of tonal delights, all for the picking online for whoever may want to enjoy music with an abundance of caution. Enjoy the harvest, and don’t forget to tip players!

The beauty of live-streamed music is the way it can be woven into your home life in any imaginable way. Washing the dishes? Stream a concert! Doing yoga? Stream a concert! And thanks to the diversity of the Memphis music scene, you can match almost any mood at home with a complementary style. It’s a little-noticed benefit of the quarantine era, when staying home was the only game in town. Now aren’t you glad you have a choice, thanks to these venues and performers?
