Pandemic-induced uncertainty.
Dear Friends,
Our lives are in a topsy-turvy state at the moment because of Covid-19. In addition to cancelled gigs and tours, my musician colleagues and I don't know what kind of economic environment we will return to once we have a vaccine. Will there be any government support for the arts left? In the USA, there was very little government money for the arts and now I wonder if the pandemic will be an excuse for cutting out all "nonessential" programs/funds.
In the meantime, musicians need money. Many of us are independent contractors and are not employed by one employer so navigating the unemployment benefit requirements can take a long time.
Please help us get through this by buying our music. Not just Aerocade's catalog but any artist that you like. Please buy their music or support their Patreon instead of only streaming on Spotify/YouTube/Apple Music, etc.
To raise even more awareness around the pandemic’s impact on musicians everywhere, Bandcamp is waiving their revenue share on sales this Friday, March 20 (from midnight to midnight Pacific Time).
Aerocade will be donating 100% of our proceeds from Bandcamp on Friday, March 20 to Equal Sound's Corona Relief Fund*.
Check out our Bandcamp page and treat yourself to some new music!
Thank you for your continued support and please take good care of yourself!
Sincerely,
Meerenai Shim
Owner, Aerocade Music
