Independent artists are small business owners. Already, the low return rate from streaming has harmed their incomes, with live performances being the only solid way of gaining revenue, until now.

With all venues either facing severe curfews or complete shutdown until further notice, this last revenue stream for artists has now effectively been halted.

The website Bandcamp is doing something about it, again. You may recall they did a “revenue cut free day” in March. It will once again forgo collecting its share of revenue from sales on the site made TODAY, August 7. The initiative will be active until 11:59 p.m Pacific time tonight. All sales will go to the artists and can assist greatly in this time of crisis.
