Live Streams: Justice Comes Alive

With live music on lock down (like everything else currently in New York City) live streams and old concerts have become essential for live music junkies like RtBE. While this current state of pandemic separation is in order we will highlight various shows/streams/virtual events for your viewing and listening pleasure and you can always check out or weekly Full Show Friday series for concerts from the past. Please support the artists any which way you can.

Today we highlight: Justice Comes Alive

Earlier this month the Quarantine Comes Alive stream helped out artists and charities, now the focus turns to social justice and police reform. This benefit is vital to help support the change that is needed and long overdue and a great lineup supports the just cause:
