His letter reads:

***Dear Bandsintown Community,***

*Our independent music venues are in crisis. Shut down since early March, many will not survive unless we take action now.*

*These venues are the center of how artists earn a living and connect with fans as well as how fans discover and support great music.*

*But “…if concerts don’t resume in 2020, 90% of independent venues across America will most likely not open again. Ever. Including the venues in our community,” reads an open letter from the 1200 member strong [National Independent Venue Association](https://www.hypebot.com/saveourstages-join-niva-campaign-to-save-independent-music-venues/) (NIVA) to the US Congress.*

*Large businesses may have the means to endure a prolonged closedown, but the vast majority of independent music venues and producers do not.*

*As lovers of live music, Bandsintown is standing together with NIVA and these venues to keep independent venues alive during these challenging times.*

*At Bandsintown we believe that live music brings people together and independent venues play an essential role in keeping that tribal experience alive. That is why they need your help NOW,*

*[NIVA](https://www.nivassoc.org/?ref=hypebot.com) offers a simple, customizable message that will automatically contact your Senators and Representatives.*

*[*Sign it here*](https://www.nivassoc.org/take-action?ref=hypebot.com) *and help ensure the survival of these essential venues.**
