Two years ago, on March 11, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. As the world went into lockdown, many in the gig economy found themselves in a position where they were unable to earn an income. Musicians were hit hard, as they’ve grown to rely primarily on touring as a source of income -- something they were suddenly unable to do.
CBC Music caught up with some of these musicians to look at how they’ve been affected by COVID-19, how they’ve adapted, and what they’re looking forward to in the future.
The COVID Diaries is a five-part series that was recorded over several months before the Omicron variant hit, when the touring economy seemed to be opening up, albeit briefly. These interviews offer a candid glimpse into the lives of musicians as they prepared for what they thought was a return to a sense of normalcy.
