Musicians discuss issues in porch concerts amid pandemic By Amanda Roberts | December 19, 2020 at 8:09 PM CST - Updated December 19 at 10:04 PM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Socially distanced and ready to take in some tunes, musicians trade in the stage for a porch to display their talents hoping to garner financial support from their fans.
Meanwhile, those owning and operating empty stages say they wish they had the opportunity to do the same.
“I truly believe the city and state are doing what they’re doing in the interest of public safety to keep the numbers down because they see where the spread comes from, but I don’t think there’s a lot of reasoning behind it,” Howie Kaplan said.
