Shelter-in-Place Tour: A Full Year of Daily Livestreams! Relix story
On March 16, 2020, the night before quarantine began in California, Lebo, Jason Crosby, and Roger McNamee did a Facebook Live livestream concert. Little was known about quarantine, but over the prior 72 hours we had been forced to cancel the first month of a huge Full Moonalice tour and were hoping to replace it with livestreams structured to raise money for the venues that would have hosted the cancelled shows. With that in mind, we converted the living room at Roger's house into a studio big enough to hold all ten members of Full Moonalice. We had asked Sweetwater to host livestreams for other bands. By the next morning, all of that went out of the window. Quarantine in the Bay Area was effectively a lockdown ... Full Moonalice could not get together. Jason made a quick decision: he would shelter at Roger's house. We assumed that would be a few weeks, but Jason stayed for more than six months. So began the Shelter-in-Place tour of daily livestreams. Initially just Doobie Decibel System duo and Jason solo shows, the tour added Doobie Decibel System trio (with Lebo), quartet (with Chloe Tietjen), quintet (with Steve Adams), the T Sisters, Moonalice, Full Moonalice, and individual members of Full Moonalice.
To commemorate the first year of daily livestreams, Relix published a story about the Shelter-in-Place tour. You can read it here: https://relix.com/news/detail/members-of-moonalice-celebrate-365-consecu...
