Music venue operators in New York City are making every effort to book musicians. Good music is being performed nightly in dozens of venues, with the smaller clubs being more active than the larger venues. Touring bands are more likely to postpone or cancel their engagements, as travel presents more risk of COVID exposure. For the most part, however, local musicians are keeping their commitments.
