While many have taken a steep cut to their incomes, local musicians and bands are staying busy, offering a variety of online programming to keep in touch with their fans and hopefully win some new ones who’ll come catch them live when things start up again.
Cleveland’s popular “cinematic pop” band The Modern Electric is sharing the chord and lyric books for both of their albums free, so you can play at home and pretend you’re in the band or sing along at the next show. Check out all the merch they’ve got to offer here.
But they’re also doing something kind of different. Anyone who’s ever caught them knows their most popular tunes “David Bowie Save Us All,” with its catchy chorus “David Bowie is my hero …” They are offering to record a two-minute version of the song replacing “David Bowie” with the name of any hero you designate: maybe that cousin who is a doctor working to help COVID-19 patients or the cousin who is delivering food. Send them a personal gift to lift their spirits for only $69.99. (You can have it personalized to anyone, including yourself!)
