This project came together in collaboration with singer/songwriter Natalia Zukerman as a response to the COVID-19 quarantines. We thought, “What if we get to be together even more in these times? Not in person, but in innovation, creation, and connection?” Ours is a small and grassroots community. We take care of each other in the good times and in the challenging times.
Shut In & Sing was a festival of songwriters… some you know and some you don’t. It was a chance to discover new music, to feel connected to one another and to us. By sharing resources, the artists had the possibility of making new fans and even ONE new person makes a difference in their world. Oh wait… ONE PERSON MAKES A DIFFERENCE? And we’ve reached the point of everything! Live on StageIt from March 19 – May 10, 2020. There was connection to be made in isolation. Some of us had more than others. All of us knew it was time to collaborate, not compete. We were shut in, but we were still gonna sing.
