As tightening COVID-19 restrictions continue to diminish the prospects of work for freelance musicians in the coming months, Alicia Pyle has reactivated her Fort Wayne Freelance Musician Fundraiser project. This effort was originally initiated last March when the coronavirus pandemic forced the closing of music venues completely. After a summer of somewhat normal live music activity, Pyle feels that it's time to get ahead of the next wave and preserve the local music scene. To learn what this reboot looks and sounds like, WBOI's Julia Meek spoke with Alicia by Zoom about its purpose as well as the impact it is making on the entire community. WBOI Artcentric is brought to you by WBOI’s own Julia Meek and Ben Clemmer. Our theme music is “Me voy pal campo'' by KelsiCote. Our administrative assistants are Olivia Fletter, Keegan Lee, and Brittany Smith. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Steve Mullaney, and Sydney Wagner.
