Hello *|FNAME|*, We hope you are doing well. The last two months have been daunting, but we're proud to see how everyone, especially those in our industry, have come together to support each other and find exciting and meaningful ways to engage with fans. All of our artists have stepped up to the challenge, sharing new performances, video content, and weekly livestream chats. Tours have been rescheduled for late 2020 and 2021, but our team is currently focused on supporting the immediate needs of our artists, industry, and fan communities. Each week, our team has selected a charity to support as part of our #GoodWORKS campaign.
