LA based pop-rap artist charlieonnafriday has a new single "Warning Shot".
About the song Charlie states:
“’Warning Shot’ is a metaphor for the end of a relationship… you wish you had a heads up, but you're stuck with the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you. The only thing that'll make you feel better is a round of shots at the bar with the homies.”
We are now heading into the new normal with live music during the Covid-19 and beyond era. Live shows will need to be flexible and live streaming is a great way to keep music going. Streams have become essential for live music junkies like RtBE. We will highlight various shows/streams/virtual events for your viewing and listening pleasure and as a way to help out the artists. You can check out our weekly Full Show Friday series for concerts from the past and as always, please support the artists any which way you can.
