Like many artists, Cellar Darling are in the same, unfortunate boat due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. In light of this, the group have decided to announce a “lockdown” campaign, kicking off with a live Q&A session and culminating in a live-streamed performance at Lucerne’s Soundfarm Studio.
The campaign will begin on 5 April with a live Q&A session at cellardarling.com/lockdown-content.
The livestream will take place on May 3 at 20:00 CEST | 19:00 BST | 14:00 EDT | 11:00 PDT | 15:00 BRT | 21:00 MSK | 03:00 JST | 02:00 SGT. Fans will be able to watch at cellardarling.com/live-at-soundfarm
Throughout the campaign, fans can contribute by donating directly to the band. The stream itself is ‘pay-what-you-want’ and will also be available for free for those who can’t afford to contribute.
The band comment:
There’s no beating around the bush: we need your help. The recent cancellation of our European tour follows that of our shows in February and March. This means that we, like many artists and self-employed entertainment professionals, face massive expenses and a total loss of income of at least three months.
But, it’s not just artists who suffer, but all of you, too. Everyone’s life is being impacted, and we think it’s time for some positive distraction on the interwebs. That’s why we are going to set up our gear at Anna’s studio and play for you in your living rooms on 3 May 2020!
We’ve also come up with some ideas to shorten the wait, creativity being our main area of expertise. We will launch a ‘lockdown content’ page on April 5 featuring solo performances, playthroughs, interviews, and more —we might even be taking some requests …
Let’s make the best of a bad situation by doing something positive together: rocking out while stays at home!
