RESCHEDULED TO MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2020

6:00 PM - 10:00 PM CDT

EVENT DETAILS

The Bridge the Gap Benefit Concert is a livestreamed concert hosted by Icehouse and Vēmos to raise money for local artists and hospitality workers who have been forced out of work due to the COVID-19 shutdowns.

Tickets are priced at the Minneapolis minimum wage of $11, with the idea that one ticket pays for one hour of work for displaced industry workers. Ticket proceeds will be donated to The North Stands, a Sanneh Foundation fund providing financial relief to hospitality industry professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This pandemic is temporary. Together, we can unite to bridge the gap for hospitality workers.

    4onthefloor

    Joining together in the name of fun & joy, the 4onthefloor bring their well-oiled, high-octane, rock’n’roll to the world with an immediacy rarely seen on stage in the 21st century. The furious delivery ebbs and flows with sing-a-long anthems and breakdowns, to soaring guitar solos and unbridled full-bore rock. Camaraderie is a common theme, and stompers are finding like-minded rock’n’rollers at every show.

    ABOUT THE CAUSE

    Ticket proceeds will be donated to The North Stands, a Sanneh foundation fund that supports individuals that work in the hospitality industry in Minnesota that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The North Stands movement was started by a group of people who have all been touched by the hospitality industry, and understand the art, hard work, and passion that people in this industry demonstrate for their community every day. This industry, and all of its workers, are a central part of what makes our Minnesota, Minnesota.

    If you or someone you know is a hospitality worker who has been impacted by COVID-19, look for The North Stands on Facebook or Instagram, and we’ll be posting a simple page on how to apply for stipends directly from the Sanneh foundation.
