Starting May 6, California's Belly Up Tavern will offer the SharkBelly Festival, offering exclusive archival downloads of Charlie Musselwhite, Macy Gray, Toots and the Maytals, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Built to Spill, The White Buffalo, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and many more.
"With so many people reaching out to see what they could do to support us while the venue is closed, we felt this was a great time to focus on downloads because each download generates money immediately for the club and the artists,” said Chris Goldsmith, President of Belly Up Entertainment. “The sound quality and the vibe captured in our room is undeniable. When we put out a few recordings right after we were shut down, the response we got from fans in Southern California, and around the world, was incredibly encouraging,” said Goldsmith. "As more and more artists agreed to the concept, we realized that this had the feeling of a very unique, global ‘festival,’ one that is maybe only possible in a time like this.”
