Against government recommendations, Southern rock singer Travis McCready will perform to 229 attendees next week. Organizers insist they’re taking every safety precaution necessary

“By no means is anyone involved in this wanting to promote anything done negligently. But people are needing something, and when people need something, they get it in dangerous ways,” says McCready, a raspy-voiced vocalist with a laid-back demeanor reminiscent of Sean Penn’s Jeff Spicoli from. “I’d rather promote something where it can happen in the safest way possible for now, and it’s not just some bar opening up saying, ‘Everybody come and let’s party. One-dollar Coronas all night.

Places of worship, addressed under separate guidelines from the “indoor venues” recommendations, were allowed to open on May 4th with no capacity restrictions, but congregants must adhere to six-feet social distancing. Brown believes concerts should have similar guidelines to church services. “The virus doesn’t know if it’s in a church or a high school gymnasium or a music venue. I think there needs to be some clarity there,” he says.

“I never issued a shelter-at-home order, but we implemented a targeted approach to reducing the spread of COVID-19,” Hutchinson tells. “This approach proved successful. Now we are gradually lifting some of the restrictions in place, but it is being done in phases to make sure we reduce the opportunity for a resurgence of the virus. We need everyone’s patience and support to make this strategy successful.
