BANDSINTOWN LIVE
The Bandsintown official channel on Twitch (which, if I knew what that was, I would be too young to collect social security). I do know that it is another option for bands to live stream their performances. Here's what the email says:

PAYING THE BLUES FORWARD

This is a GoFundMe fundraiser started by Mike Zito and Nick Moss to raise for their fellow blues musicians. They are asking artists who are in need of assistance to contribute a song for this project and in return are going to try and raise $1000 each for the artist and their band members.

SOCIAL DISTANCING PRESENTS 
A new Facebook page that promotes artists who live stream shows from their home. According to Mark Guarino, a Chicago journalist who created the page, artists can create event pages for upcoming shows, and can include a PayPal or Venmo account so fans can donate what they can afford to help the musicians.
