Musicians earn tips on virtual concerts with Crosstown Arts platform
Black Cream guitarist Thomas Crivens (in his home studio on Wednesday, July 8) has benefited from Crosstown Arts’ Against the Grain program. The web-based platform aids local musicians in connecting with their fans and making money. “It’s a battle to keep motivation. When you have a family, your priorities change very, very quickly,” Crivens said. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
Against the Grain offers Memphis-area musicians a place to post performance videos. The service has earned nearly 150 musicians a total of more than $19,000.
