To aid local musicians and small businesses hit the hardest during
the coronavirus pandemic, OC Board of Supervisors Second District
Supervisor Katrina Foley has partnered with area artists and venues to
welcome back live music with the OC Live Concert Series.
The events will take place May 10-15 at multiple venues, including
Dick Church’s Restaurant and Strut Bar & Club in Costa Mesa, with
the weekend concerts taking over The Dunes in Newport Beach.
“I’ve long been an advocate for the arts in Orange County and during
COVID I watched as many of our musicians and our arts venues and artists
that depend on fundraisers for their revenue just get hammered,” Foley
said during a recent phone interview.
When the county received money from the American Rescue Plan last
year, each supervisor was allocated $1 million to support the arts in
their district. Foley said she spent a portion offering grants to local
dance schools, but also wanted to help the struggling musicians and
smaller bars and restaurants that foster Orange County’s robust music
scene.
