The likes of Andrew Millsaps, Daniel Kemish and Douglas Berti will be performing live streams on the Electro-Voice Facebook page as part of the #EVOpenMic Series. You can find that here.
With musicians unable to perform due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Electro-Voice wanted to give musicians worldwide a platform to perform and tapped into the very popular streaming from a controlled environment approach.
Given that a number of artists from a variety of different genres use EV products, a casting call for musicians went out with no restriction on musical genre and of the 18 that were selected, a number are involved with country, Americana and folk.
In total, 18 concerts will be held (one for each artist) and as well as that, each musician will be paid $300 and will also receive one Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M column system and two Electro-Voice performance mics.
The schedule for performances for relevant artists is as follows, though if you are unable to catch a performance live, the stream will be available for a limited time:
May 28:
Joni Sheila (Belgium, Singer-Songwriter) – 6pm GMT
Douglas Berti (Brazil, Country & Folk) – 10pm GMT
