Unity Hall, Barneveld’s historic concert venue, will be presenting the third installment of its Virtual Concert Series beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 13, with “the little band with the big sound”, Sirsy, viewable at www.unityhall.com.
While the virtual concert series has been enjoyed by people all over the country – to the tune of over 10,000 hits – for entertainment director Matt Mielnick, this series has been as much about creating a forum for out-of-work musicians struggling through a pandemic.
“These people make their living playing music. Being a shut-in meant that many of these pros would be out of work for who knows how long” notes Mielnick. “That was our first focus: How can we support these artists for as long as it takes to get back on a stage?”
