Hey! Thanks so much for being interested in supporting local original music, and thanks to all those who create original music.

This is an exciting, evolving project. It started simply: letting original musicians around the country know, encouraging them to celebrate however they like, and asking them to spread the word. Who knows where it'll lead? Original music events in places all over the country on the same day, however many or few, is amazing. And, like never before, we need ways to bring us together that overcome our differences. We've all been isolated from one another; we need, desperately, to get in touch again.

While things are much, much better now most places than they were last year, Covid-19 is still a presence. Do what's best for you and the most vulnerable in your community. If you have an in-person event planned, consider requiring proof of vaccination. If you can, have masks available for anyone who might want one. Make people feel comfortable wearing a mask if they choose to.

We need local original music, and we need to support those who make it. Lots of musicians have been struggling. Show the love! Buy some music online; support a patreon or kickstarter; watch a livestream event and put some money in the tip jar; or just send a message, or make a post, and say "thank you". Let your local musicians know you appreciate them!
