Pittsburgh-area music venues, theaters hamstrung by issues w

Local music venues are facing another shutdown.
The Small Business Association website where venues are supposed to be able to submit an application for money is not working. The glitch is holding up federal relief money for venues and causing frustration.
The Save Our Stages Act was passed as part of a covid-19 relief bill in December to help with funding for local venues. The act led to Shuttered Venue Operators Grants which were to be available to apply for on April 8.
“They had major technical issues and they took it down and have been radio silent about when it will be back up to apply,” said Brian Drusky, owner of Drusky Entertainment, a Pittsburgh-based concert promoter via email. “Not one application has been filed.”
