By DJ Dave Hoffenberg With millions of people being forced to stay home to help stop the spread of Covid-19, Zoom became the go-to video conferencing app for surviving the pandemic.

By DJ Dave Hoffenberg It’s going to be a while before we can see live music in person once again. Even when it is eventually allowed, the best it will be is semi-normal. Online shows are the new thing and everyone is doing them. What caught my attention for this article is Silas McPrior who…

By DJ Dave Hoffenberg In Don McLean’s “American Pie” he sang about “The day the music died.” When Governor Phil Scott ordered all bars and restaurants to close, the music around here kind of did. This region has such a great variety of live music you can go see, well could go. Musicians now are…
