'Our model is making sure that every single person that’s involved in this does get paid. We’re not shy about that. That’s what we formed this for.' In six weeks, the virtual series has brought in more than $300,000 for artists & crews.
"We do make sure that our artists are paid well and some acts that are on our platform are making more money than they would have been making on tour. For some, where that might not be the case, they are still able to at least survive during this time," says Baruch."Our model is making sure that every single person that’s involved in this does get paid. We’re not shy about that. That’s what we formed this for.
Baruch attributes a great deal of the success of Live From Out There to his days as a talent booker working with festivals like Okeechobee. He says he has approached the virtual festivals the same way he would a live, in-person event and helped promote them with the same fervor. His efforts seem to have paid off. In the first three weeks, Live From Out There reached more than 1.
"When we started this, we were very much in the unknown of how long this was going to last," Baruch says."Now that we are clearly seeing that all summer festivals are, for the most part, being cancelled and fall touring is very much in the air, we are recalibrating what we are doing for Live From Out There as a whole and are going to continue doing what we’re doing in the same format for probably more than six months.
