MEMernet: The Flow on Ice (For Now)

Memphis on the internet.

Last week was a watershed moment for The Flow, as we put our livestreamed 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 livestreamed 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 livestream-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.

The Flow: Live-Streamed Music Events This Week, March 18-24

The first day of spring is nearly upon us, and the ebb and flow of live-streams is gathering force. As noted elsewhere in the Memphis Flyer, The Black Lodge Telethon will be a cultural flash point with all the safety of in-home viewing, as many bands, both live online and pre-recorded, show their support for the best-curated movie rental center in the Mid-South. Meanwhile, the B-Side continues to ramp up their live-stream game again, the chickens and the bingo continue at Hernando’s Hide-a-way, and our many stellar singer/songwriters keep offering their music privately. Give them a listen and give them your tips!

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.
