To all THV members and musicians everywhere, The Holistic Voice is heartbroken to see the postponing, cancellations, and uncertainty that our field is facing right now amidst the COVID-19 outbreak.
In our experience however, if there ever was a group of proactive, self-motivated, and resilient group of people it would be all of us artists out there. We have compiled a newsletter containing financial resources and tips for those in need:
