Tameca Jones, in Central Austin, on May 7. Michael Minasi/KUTX
In the latest episode of Pause/Play we tackle the question: “To play, or not to play?” We asked 15 Austin musicians the same questions: Have you performed during the pandemic? Are you ready to perform now? What would it take to make you feel comfortable performing the way you used to, before the pandemic?
Their answers provide insight into what it’s been like to be a musician during COVID-19, and what kind of decisions artists are faced with now that more people are getting vaccinated and restrictions are loosening.
