A1: @Joebonamasa partnered with @keepingthebluesalive to provide a relief fund for touring musicians. Here he has listed special events with the guitarist as well as an easy text form of donation. It’s a definitive lifeline for the struggling industry! #Jandolichat https://t.co/wswX7XLozH

A1: I covered this for MTV News and talked to artists/organizers who put on DIY livestreams via Instagram Live. One that’s charmed me is the weekly virtual mini “festival” by @specialistsub records featuring artists all over the globe on one IG stream. #JandoliChat https://t.co/nDcsMhuwzs

Definitely have been a fan of having bands playing via zoom on Instagram and Facebook live

As a fan, I love the weekly performances @danmanganmusic has done from his basement. Also have to give credit to @arkellsmusic for their 58 consecutive-day chats and lessons on IG, often with guests. It’s endearing!

A1: From Nicholas Coyne: Seeing people rally around music in a number of different ways has been the most touching experience, also Global Citizen always produces a great event for an even greater cause and their “Together At Home” special really felt unifying. 1/2 #JandoliChat

A1: Being from NJ, the #Jersey4Jersey fundraiser hit home. Lots of familiar faces and places. #JandoliChat

Any time the late-night game can go deeper with more poignant moments, it’s usually a great win. This one was particularly moving. #JandoliChat

Late to the party, and slightly off-topic, but I appreciated how Saturday Night Live handled their last few episodes of the season. The Disney Sing-Alongs have been fun as well.

All questions:

• Is there one event that touched you more than any of the others?
• How about a song?
• What is it about music that we find comforting and inspiring?
• Why have many artists been postponing album releases?
• How can we keep supporting the artists we love?
• What do you foresee for live concerts in the future?
• Has the pandemic given you an opportunity to listen to something new?
• What Stevie Wonder song gives us the best hope for the future?
