TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - The Save Our Stages Act was passed as part of the COVID-19 relief bill and will provide $15 billion in funding towards live music venues.
Due to the pandemic, independent venues were some of the very first businesses to close, and likely will be the last to open.
“We’ve been closed for nine months and it’s possible we will be closed for another six to nine months,” said Nancy March, a member of the Fox Tucson Theater Foundation Board of Directors.
