LISTEN: Bringing live music back to Dallas

In this episode

Live music practically died out during the pandemic and withdrew to social media or small gatherings.

Dallas music promoter and Banjos to Beats co-founder Josh Smith joins The Deep Side to talk about the return of music. And Smith tells us about his pandemic side project – a 27,000 member Facebook group called D-FW Corona Connection – which aims to bring real information about the virus and real debate about how to respond to the area.
