virtual concerts from “The one that didn’t happen”

Memorial Day Weekend 2020


Highlights

2020 got off to an amazing start, including signing a contract to produce Abbey Road on the Island at the Tilles Center at LIU.

Sales were booming, then all of a sudden on March 15, the world stopped. But we couldn't let that stop us from putting on amazing concerts, so we asked some of our favorite bands to help out. Jukebox did a concert from Puerto Rico, All You Need Is Love did a show from Belleville, Ontario, but Classicstone shocked us all with a socially distanced (possibly illegal) rooftop concert in Bogota, Colombia, with surprise cameos of Rafa, Juliana & Josh in Louisville, and Juan Jade from his cruise ship on which he was stuck for over 9 months. Between the May and October virtual events (JL80), we raised $15,000 to distribute among the bands and staff out of work
