t has been more than a year since the COVID-19 pandemic forced music venues to turn their signs to closed, since live music went almost entirely virtual and since most regular performers last played in front of a crowd in the same room. Although Spokane s music scene is still pretty quiet heading into April, with most venues waiting for looser restrictions before reopening, a handful of musicians have started playing again and are testing out the limitations of live music in these final phases of reopening.
