BACKYARD BEATS LISTING 8/7/20

[Jim Price]

Here is a listing of Pennsylvania live music happenings for the weekend and week of Friday, August 7 through Thursday, August 13.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19/coronavirus situation, many live music venues across the state are not able to host performances at this time. The listing below includes both area live public shows and online live-streaming shows; keep checking back, as this listing will be updated as new shows are announced. If a "virtual tip jar" situation is available during live streams, please consider tipping these performers, and support them during this time when they cannot earn income playing shows at public venues. Websites for these performers are also listed; please consider purchasing their music digitally or via CD, which is another way to SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!
