Countdown to 2021: Livestreams & Live Auction

Countdown to 2021: Livestreams & Live Auction

Take yourself back to March: stay at home orders took effect, grocery store shelves were emptied, toilet paper was a scarce resource. We closed our storefronts and went home where we watched music festivals post cancellation announcements, one by one. The most exciting part of our day was 8pm when we flashed our lights in support of frontline workers. Streaming became the best solution to connect with our community and support other artists and small businesses during quarantine, and thus, 2020 became the Year of the Livestream!

Grassroots California Live Streams


GRC TV Livestreams

Since March, Grassroots California channels featured more than 60 livestreams with over 56 hours of content. We supported visual artists, yoga instructors, glass blowers, home chefs, DJs, musicians, comedians, magicians, dispensaries, breweries, and other small businesses on our Twitch, Facebook Live, and YouTube, sometimes simultaneously. When I wasn't personally hosting the streams and interviews, I was coaching our partners through the entire set-up process, problem-solving all sorts of hardware, software, and network challenges (sometimes live, as you may have seen). What was more important than learning the skills myself, was teaching them. We empowered more than 50 colleagues with the skills and technology to be leaders in this new era of content and communication.

Countdown to 2021 with GRC

Grassroots California Countdown to 2021

With 2021 right around the corner, following a long and stressful holiday season, we thought we'd celebrate the New Year with a countdown of livestreams and ring 2021 with a virtual fest! The countdown will include totally new livestreams between Dec 22nd and December 31st featuring new interviews, art, music, infused-cooking classes, and counter-culture entertainment. You might recognize some faces, but we're bringing you totally new streams to brighten your holidays at home. RSVP for notifications and reminders on our Facebook Event Pages: we'll be posting new streams throughout the week as well!
