Live Music Venues Get Government Lifeline: But What About Restaurants? | Eater Seattle

"I consider Neumos a legendary Capitol Hill club co-owned by Steven Severin; he was celebrating the passage of the SOS Act while remaining vigilant, having spent months pushing state and federal lawmakers (and helping form the Washington Nightlife Music Association) to secure relief for venues. Severin emphasized that there is "zero revenue coming in" and warned that without this kind of aid he’d estimate 90 percent of independent venues in the state would have closed, underscoring Neumos’s precarious position and its role in the broader advocacy for live-music relief." - Gabe Guarente
