The Weekly Stream: New Orleans Concerts, September 16-23

The Weekly Stream: New Orleans Concerts, April 1-April 8

We’re now in our third week of the Weekly Stream, OffBeat’s online livestream concert calendar. More and more musicians are taking to social media and websites to share their music with global audiences in an effort to offset the revenue loss they face due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With music venues and festivals shut down and postponed or canceled, many musicians are relying primarily on tips and donations collected via apps like Venmo and PayPal.

Below, you’ll find a collection of performances from Louisiana talent.

To add your online performance to the Weekly Stream, please send an email to [email protected] and cc: [email protected] with the following info:
