It’s time to say goodbye to 2020 and ARISE to a new year!
Streaming from Colorado Sound Studios on December 31 from 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. MST, fans, friends and family can tune in for ARISE Online and couch surf their way to the new year with concert-quality performances, newly released music, exclusive interviews, live painting, poetry, interactive chats and even more to be announced soon. ARISE Online will premiere on Facebook and YouTube as a free, streaming celebration headlined by music producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe of Desert Dwellers and recently streamed performances by Magic Beans, Spectacle, Melody Lines and live painter Laura McGowan.
This year, New Year’s Eve is more important than ever. The past nine months have been challenging for the music industry and ARISE Music Festival’s virtual NYE stream is a safe way to reflect and reset. “The Coronavirus pandemic has shredded tour schedules, silencing stages across the country. Performances remain paused and shows suspended, but the show must go on,” shares Luke Comer, owner and producer of ARISE. “Nothing will replace a live festival experience, but until it’s safe to come together again, ARISE want to give our fans the best seat in the house to see a variety of talented musicians, artists, poets, and more on ARISE Online this New Year’s Eve.”
In lieu of a ticket, viewers, who have the means, are strongly encouraged to thank ARISE Online performers with a donation of $10.00 to $20.00, or an amount that feels most comfortable to them. A portion of the proceeds also benefit Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. By donating, viewers are entered to win official merchandise, future concert tickets and more.
