Tom DeGeorge, owner of Crowbar music venue in Florida, details his struggles to stay afloat through a pandemic and murky government regulations.
We created a versatile space that welcomes all types of entertainment and all types of people. The first 10 years were always a struggle to make money and book shows. I finally knew I created something special when bands started telling me that their Crowbar tour date was the one they looked forward to the most.
On April 1, our state entered quarantine life. During this time, I felt helpless. I tried to stay involved, to do what I could to control my own fate. I joined the National Independent Venue Association and shortly after was asked to serve as Florida Precinct Captain. Through NIVA, I spent many hours lobbying state politicians for additional support for our independent ticketed venues.
But some of these businesses were taking advantage of their situation. Restaurants started having bands play at ground level on the street within close proximity to customers, inside and outside customers were standing rather than seated, and capacity limitations became increasingly ignored.
