SiriusXM + Pandora joined the National Independent Venue Association and US music industry leaders in a letter urging Congress to support the RESTART Act, which would tailor PPP to work for shuttered businesses that have no revenue, high overhead and no clear timeline for reopening in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Independent music venues are still effectively shuttered and with zero revenue and the overwhelming overhead of rent, mortgage, utilities, taxes, and insurance, 90% of independent venues report that if the shutdown lasts six months and there’s no federal assistance, they will never reopen again.
