Fayettevilleâs live music scene is slowly coming back to life after a year of reduced or altered performances due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Governor Asa Hutchinson ordered the closure of all restaurant dining rooms and bars March 19 2020 to reduce the spread of COVID-19. He announced May 11 that restaurants could reopen at limited capacity and with social distancing guidelines in place, but for venues centered around live music, these guidelines made holding shows a challenge. Regarding performances, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently suggests spacing musicians out farther than six feet on stage and considering suspending performances involving wind instruments.
