As the COVID-19 outbreak threatens live music across the globe, musicians in Australia band together to create ISOL-AID, a socially (media) distanced music festival.
In a matter of weeks, tours, local shows and public appearances have been cancelled across the board and the international music community has come to a standstill and faces an uncertain future. According to ilostmygig.net.au the current tally of losses for the Australian music community, (for performers, production, crew, hospo workers, managers, booking agents & more) sits at $150 million dollars.
The impact of these cancellations is financial, psychological and emotional, and will undoubtedly be long lasting.
In response to this crisis, ISOL-AID has been announced today. ISOL-AID is a two-day live streaming festival running from 12 noon till 12 midnight on both Saturday 21st March and Sunday 22nd March. A live-streaming festival promoting unity and community.
Playing live from bedrooms, lounge-rooms, studios or wherever they are self-isolating, artists will play a 20-minute set streamed live on their Instagram accounts, and then tag-team the next artist to play, sending fans down a rabbit-hole of new music discovery.

If they are in the financial position to do so, viewers are encouraged to buy music and merch from the artists’ Bandcamp and Patreon pages, their websites, as well as donating to a fundraiser set up for Support Act which provides relief for music industry workers facing mental health issues or financial hardship via links in artists’ Instagram profiles.
ISOL-AID features two days of live streaming from 74 musicians including Angie McMahon, Julia Jacklin, Stella Donnelly, Alice Skye, Didirri, Harvey Sutherland, Merpire, Alexander Biggs, Romy (RVG), Good Morning, Ainslie Wills, Hayley Mary, Spacey Jane, Yours Truly, CLEWS and many many more.
We are calling on all music lovers to stream, listen, buy, and donate whatever is within their means.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
