Nick Wright, a psych-rock artist in the band Caved Mountains, says it’s not the right time.
“We would love to do it. There’s a lot of excitement to go play shows, but it’s not the right thing to do,” Wright says. “Right now we’re focused on health and making sure people don’t get sick. We’re practicing here at my house. We’re not going into a jam space.”
Wright and the Caved Mountains worry that practicing in a space where other bands have also recently practiced could put them at risk of catching COVID. Since Grail Fest (a live-music listening and record-digging event that Wright had in the works since 2019) was canceled when the pandemic hit in 2020, the band has not done any live shows and isn’t planning any until it’s safe.

âMusic is still a place where honesty and the true human emotion can be translated. So as long as we continue to create a safe space to voice what people see and feel, we have a chance of spreading information and thoughts that can push the world to a more understanding place.â
