An event description reads, "The Southgate House Revival is a cornerstone in the Cincinnati Music Community. In these times when venues are not able to operate, we need to come together to help our home away from home survive."
To watch the fest, check in on the CincyMusic Facebook page on May 8 (or May 9) and get more updates and see an updated list of bands as the event draws nearer.
Viewers can support the venue via Venmo @southgatehouse-revival and Paypal [email protected].
You can also apparently now add the Southgate House Revival as a Zoom background, so you can let whoever is in your next virtual meeting know how much you love local music. (And donate some dollars to the venue in exchange, as well.)
