Save Our Stages Fest is a 3-day virtual music festival happening this weekend on The National Independent Venue Association's YouTube channel and will feature all new performances to generate awareness, advocacy and donations for the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund, directly supporting our most vulnerable venues experiencing catastrophic revenue loss.

The festival will feature dozens of amazing artists and each performance is paired with a venue like our own First Avenue.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what artists do you want to hear that are playing #SOSFEST?
