R&B artist Tank is considering doing an online concert with support from his band. A few days ago the Milwaukee native posted the following question to his more than one million followers on social media: “Should i do an online concert with my band?.. R&B Music!..”
If he goes forward with it, Tank would join a growing list of established artists who are now using digital concerts as a way to keep their audiences engaged.

We have been getting a lot of requests from event promoters, primarily in the United States, asking us to do a write up about their show that’s scheduled for early summer. The idea, we believe, is to get the word out to potential patrons, letting them know that the program is still on despite covid-19.
Normally we wouldn’t mind posting about such events, but when we see what is happening in parts of the U.S., it is hard to imagine that these shows will still go on uninterrupted.
As a company, we here at Maria Jackson Magazine are very careful to publish only accurate and authentic information. As such we are reluctant, at least for now, to post about any offline event set for May and early June.
