Trey Anastasio Band multi-instrumentalist James Casey created Aux Chord, a website that will host ticketed livestreams from a variety of artists. Casey will be the first to perform a livestream on Aux Chord this Thursday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET.
The New York City resident launched the online venue to give artists a platform for ticketed live music events while touring is shut down due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Jennifer Hartswick & Nick Cassarino, Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini, Louis Cato and Erin Boyd are among those who will announce Aux Chord performances soon.
“The goal of Aux Chord is to supply a place for the music community to continue to grow and thrive, and supply a place for music fans to be able to see great live music with great picture and sound,” Casey said in a statement about the new platform. “I doubt we’re the first to do this, and we definitely won’t be the last, but hopefully this can be a positive thing for the artists at large.”
Ticket prices will be set by artists and the bulk of proceeds will go directly to the musicians. “Hopefully this can be a resource for musicians, especially independent artists, in a time where we honestly aren’t able to perform and do what we’ve been working towards our whole lives. But what we can do is these live streams and create art for people to consume, especially considering that everyone is going through a whole lot right now,” Casey added. “This isn’t like going live on Facebook or Instagram and busking. The platform is about elevating that experience and really performing for the people. We’re putting on a show.”
