Heads up y'all! It’s been 47 days since SAVES passed. Venues will close if they do not receive some funding before Christmas!
Please write your council member and Austin City Manager NOW then share & tag your council member. “Iconic venues that make Austin the "live music capital" are running out of time. The City Council enacted the S.A.V.E.S. initiative which provided funding and support to preserve viable, legacy venues jeopardized by the pandemic. More state and federal support is sorely needed, but we urge the City Manager to immediately connect with targeted venues and provide a timeline and application for city support. The city needs to act quickly.” – Austin Mayor Steve Adler “Austin’s music venues cannot wait for help any longer. We are out of time.” – Patrick Buchta, Musician/Executive Director, Austin Texas Musicians
“Venues aren’t just buildings. Venues are jobs. Our community is made up of skilled workers, talented entertainers, and experienced professionals who need the security of knowing these jobs will be waiting for us when it’s safe to go back to work.” -- Jeannette Gregor, The Amplified Sound Coalition WHO: Austin musicians, music industry workers, venue owners/operators and fans
WHAT: “Come and Save It” Rally at City Hall
WHEN: Thursday, November 19, 11am
WHERE: Austin City Hall
Please only those who are healthy and feel comfortable attend. Wear black, wear a mask, and practice social distancing. Thanks!

Austin musicians and music industry workers, you now have a union!
Meet TASC @theamplifiedsoundcoalition 🤝
——————
The Amplified Sound Coalition (TASC) “advocates for the performance venue community, focusing on Survival, Sustainability, and Safety.” As stated on their website (theamplifiedsoundcoalition.org), TASC “is a community-based organization made up of industry professionals and concerned citizens. They have identified and want to address, publicly, three aspects of our community that are the most at-risk. The three areas of concern are: Financial Sustainability, Mental and Physical Well-Being, and Austin Housing/Cost of Living. The organizers behind the “Come and Save It” rally to support the SAVES Resolution introduced to City Council by @mayorsteveadler last Thursday were inspired by both support within the Austin events community and public outcry for saving, as well as sustaining, the live music industry. Jeannette Gregor @thejeanjeannie (music festival production worker, furloughed @mohawkaustin employee, writer) and Dan Holloway @danielryanholloway (former music and event booker at the now permanently shuttered Barracuda, local musician as well as a former Margin Walker booker) have launched this new initiative in support of the suffering community.
We strongly urge you to follow their socials, sign up for their newsletter, and get involved.
