KEEP LIVE ALIVE ST. LOUIS March 12th – Fundraiser For Local Musicians From the Biggest Stages in Town

On any given night in St. Louis, there are dozens chances to treat your ears to some phenomenal musicianship. The St. Louis music scene is, and always has been, very diverse. Whether it’s blues in the Soulard neighborhood, cool vocal stylings at a hip suburban bistro, or the joyful jamming of a Grateful Dead tribute band in the Loop, the live music scene in St. Louis has rocked visitors, and locals every single night. Until Covid. When the pandemic hit, live music was one of the first things to be affected and will be one of the last to come back. If you miss going to concerts, imagine how the musicians, sound & lighting techs, stagehands, bartenders and everyone else involved in the presentation of live music must feel.

On March 12, the St. Louis Classic Rock Preservation Society will present KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS, a FREE 90-minute entertainment video special and fundraiser produced by Ron Stevens for the people in St. Louis who miss being able to attend concert events due to the pandemic. You can view the special for FREE at KeepLiveAliveSTL.org Check out this preview:

More importantly, KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS is about all the people behind the scenes who bring you concerts everyday – ushers, ticket takers, bartenders, wait staff, sound & lighting technicians, stagehands, backstage crews, the list goes on and on. Net proceeds from fundraising and sponsorships will benefit entertainment industry professionals in the St. Louis region who are suffering financially due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and loss of work. Any member of the live entertainment industry – on stage, off stage, front of house, back of house, in the office or on the road, tending bar or parking cars – all may call on Keep Live Alive Saint Louis.

By making a donation, you will be helping some of those people most affected by being laid off, waiting and wanting to come back to work producing your favorite concerts and live entertainment events. Donations can be made anytime HERE

The St. Louis Classic Rock Preservation Society was founded in January, 2016 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, by Randy Raley, John Sebben and Ron Stevens, but its story began well before that. Both Randy and John had been operating online radio stations for several years. The annual St. Louis Classic Rock Trivia Night fundraised for local charities since 2014 as well. Upon incorporation a, the Society was able to do more for local organizations, musicians and other individuals, and have assembled a great team to make KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS a successful AND entertaining event. KEEP LIVE ALIVE SAINT LOUIS is also sponsored by KSHE-95, 106.5-TheArch, 106.7 THE POINT, 92.3 WIL, and Weber Chevrolet.
