Episode 16: How the New Orleans music industry is dealing with COVID-19

In this podcast, we talk to music manager Reid Martin (Big Freedia, Tank and the Bangas, Sweet Crude) about how the New Orleans music industry is dealing with the severe changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some artists, like Big Freedia, have pivoted in a big way while others are hunkering down and getting creative. All of them need as much support from fans, the community and government to survive financially until they can begin performing in front of crowds again.
