I go to see a lot of independent and smaller label bands. The show scene has just been getting rougher over the past 15 years or so with rising costs for touring bands and venues, challenges to connect with an audience and get them to show up, Trump-era visa changes, COVID, probably a bunch of other things I’m forgetting, and now this. It’s terrible for fans and is going to ruin a lot of artists and possibly obliterate small venues.
