Small Business Live

Summer is usually peak season for music festivals, at which attendees make very sweaty, not to mention very close, contact with a large number of people. Obviously, almost all such events have been postponed, but virtual alternatives have speedily sprung up. Small Business Live, streaming from multiple platforms, brings the party indoors, while helping black- and women-owned businesses to stay afloat during the shutdown. Promising a good time and a good cause, the hosts have turned out an impressive lineup, from the rapper 2 chainz and the autotuned R&B sound of T-Pain, to the soul songs of Leon Bridges. —C.J.F.
