Artists from all over the country, from Garth Brooks to Juanes, are continuing to perform live without leaving their homes. It's become a necessity as music venues shut down again in the face of increasing coronavirus cases. And it likely won't change anytime soon.
Local artists, many of whom have lost most if not all of their income, have been hit particularly hard. Livestreaming has become more important than ever. And we're here to showcase some of the best.
SISTER ACT: Everything's coming up RōZY for this rock band
Steven Higginbotham joins us at 11 a.m. Friday to perform over at the Preview from the Houston Chronicle Facebook page. He's the lead singer for Houston band The Wheel Workers. They just premiered a creative new video for "Sing" on the Preview site that features 15 past and present members of the band from across two decades.

Steven Higginbotham of The Wheel Workers
Years active: 20
Genre: Indie-rock
Latest project: post-truth
Where you’re from: Southeast (Pasadena/Pearland area)
Where we can find you online: thewheelworkers.com
Why we should pay attention to you: We're one of Houston's longest-running indie-rock bands, and we're about to release some of our best material ever in the coming months.
Why it’s important for people to support local art right now: Right now, it's impossible for local musicians to do what they love the most: play live shows. However, due to the wonders of modern technology, we can still create great music and share it with the world. Continuing to support local music maintains a vital part of the Houston community during these difficult times. Houston music is part of Houston's identity, and there are a ton of wonderful local artists that deserve your support.
