MUSIC ROW NEWS:
The global music community has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and while some have been fortunate to live life relatively uninterrupted in quarantine, many are not so lucky. With bars, hotels and restaurants closed, and concert tours cancelled, many music creators, artists, and service providers have been unable to earn an income. With this in mind, Endurance Music Group https://endurancemg.com/ has partnered with Summerland Wine Brands to support local food banks across the country and in our hometown of Nashville. Summerland Wine Brands recently released Zoom Juice, five different varieties of California wine dedicated to helping victims of COVID-19 while fueling those remote co-writing sessions. For every case of wine sold, Summerland will donate $6 to local food banks, and Endurance will double that donation for all wine sales in Tennessee. Summerland is working with its distribution partners to bring these wines to local stores in time for summer, and they are also available via their website https://summerlandwinebrands.com/
