The Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth plans to reopen later this month with a “socially distant” concert with The Justin Varnes Sextet.
The show will take place at 8 p.m. July 27 and is the first of a few in-person concerts scheduled at the Eddie Owen-owned venue. Tickets are $25.
In addition to limited seating the concert will also stream on YouTube.com/EOPLive with a “tip jar” for the performers.
According to venue management, numerous protocols will be instituted to adhere to social distancing practices.
- Limited, general admission seating for about 75 (the venue holds 260).
- Attendees will be seated in PODS (groups of people comfortable sitting together).
- Every other row will be roped off, and only one entrance and exit will be available (with doors propped open).
- Masks are required.
- Bar and bathroom lines will be taped off to ensure 6 feet of space between patrons.
- Sanitizers and cleaners will be available throughout the venue and there won’t be any interaction with items such as ticket stubs or receipts.
- Ushers will maintain social distancing guidelines and will orchestrate exiting from the venue to prevent a mass exodus.
Other upcoming concerts at Red Clay Foundry include Seven Days on Aug. 1; Ben de la Cour Aug. 8; Will Payne Harrison & Jess Jocoy with Kate Coleman Aug. 21; Forever Abbey Road Aug. 22; and The Currys and Highbeams Aug. 29.
