End of 2020 Covid-19 Quarantine Spotify Playlist

We almost made it to the end of 2020, Scenestar readers! We hope you're spending New Year's Eve at home or in quarantine somewhere safe so that we can hopefully have some actual concerts in Los Angeles to share with you in the new year. There are plenty of streaming options on the internet tonight and on the radio starting at 8 p.m. (We see you KCRW's Travis Holcombe), but if you choose to have a COVID-19-themed music night at home, we have a Spotify quarantine playlist that we made early this year to get you through.

Thanks to all the venues, promoters, musicians, labels, marketers, public relations people, and especially our followers/readers for hanging in there and waiting to have some cool concerts to look forward to. Until then, we'll see you in 2021, and please let us know what you think (or if you have any tracks we missed on this playlist)!
