Three years ago, much of the Bay Area was ordered to shelter in place. 

Industries that evolve around human interaction came to a halt. And out of them, the live music industry was one that perhaps suffered the most. 

In this episode of Bay Current, KCBS Radio’s Mallory Somera spoke with Oakland-based activist and rapper Bambu about what was behind his decision to step away from the live music scene heading into the COVID-19 endemic. We also heard from Jonathan Gunton, general manager of The Independent in San Francisco, a member of the National Independent Venue Association.
