As we’re nearing festival season, this Not Being Able To Be In Large Crowds thing is getting a little frustrating. Pickathon gets it—the late-summer Portland fest is doing their part to help us scratch that itch with a new series they’re rolling out over the next sixty days called “A Concert a Day: Helping Musicians in Need.” The event is exactly that: a daily stream of a past Pickathon set from a different artist, with any donations supporting MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund. 

Margo Price, Jeff Tweedy, Mac DeMarco, Charles Bradley, Tank and the Bangas, Thee Oh Sees, Damien Jurado, The Lone Bellow, Ex Hex, and Andrew Bird are among the artists scheduled to be featured in the series, which launches tomorrow with a 2017 set by Drive-By Truckers. Find the full week’s schedule below.

For more details, check in with the event page on Pickathon’s Facebook. We’ll also occasionally be listing these sets in our daily live stream coverage.
