Earlier this year PARMA Recordings held a Call For Live Streams – a no-cost opportunity for artists to submit a live stream for airing on the PARMA Live Stage. With a great response, PARMA is happy to announce that many of these performances have been added to the 2021 PARMA Live Stage lineup including:
The PARMA Live Stage is a digital music venue created in March 2020 to help artists to continue to present their live-streamed performances when visiting a music venue in person was not possible. With over 50 streamed events last year, the venue and its accompanying marketing program helped bring music to thousands of viewers as well as raise money for various charitable causes.
Additional events are being added to the calendar all the time so check out the PARMA Live Stage for the full event listing.
