DENVER—One of the first things to stop was live music.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been roughly nine months since many musicians have played to a full, in-person crowd.
“Now we’re going to the holiday season and we’re hearing some pretty rough stories of people just not having enough to make ends meet,” said Cass Clayton. She is the lead singer and frontwoman of the Cass Clayton Band.
“Musicians live on a very tight, thin budget anyway,” Clayton said. “When we found out artists may be having struggles with getting three meals a day, Dazzle was the first one to step up and say ‘Let’s create a food pantry just for musicians and the music community.’”
