“When The Music Stopped” on The Music District Podcast


2020 will be remembered as the year that live music was put on hold. NIVA and the others in this podcast are trying to change that.


In unprecedented fashion, venues across the country were forced to shut down due to COVID with a promise that it will “be alright” — The National Independent Venue Association or NIVA is working to ensure that none of these stages disappear.

In this episode of The Music District Podcast, they tell the story of independent venues and venue owners navigating this new, uncertain landscape and explore our best options for saving these independent venues.

The mission of the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) is to preserve and nurture the ecosystem of independent live music venues and promoters throughout the United States.

This is our final push to Congress and there won’t be another opportunity. We NEED the #SaveOurStagesAct and the #RestartAct passed in order to keep independent venues nationwide from closing permanently. Please help us #SaveOurStages now.
