With a $2,000 matching grant from the Bob Purvis family, Standiford now has enough capital invested in the project to begin streaming live shows, possibly by the end of April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s pretty exciting, and it\u2019s been years in the making, but nothing good comes easy,\u201d Standiford said. \u201cThe HD cameras and a bunch of the streaming equipment arrived today. So now I\u2019ve got to do a bunch of work to make room for it upstairs. We\u2019ve got all the cable runs downstairs through a hole we drilled in the antique ceiling, and we\u2019re setting up a video station to go with that. It\u2019s great progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">How livestreaming concerts would work in the time of coronavirus is unclear, and Standiford said it is an ongoing debate between he and his staff members over what might be possible given the restrictions of social distancing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He said the stage at Steve\u2019s Guitars is big enough to hold two performers at least 6 feet apart, and it would be possible to have a third performer somewhere else in the room along with a sound technician, a lighting technician, and someone upstairs to run the video station.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row gspi-donation gspi-donation-mobile p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.postindependent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/03\/PI-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.postindependent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/03\/PI-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.postindependent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/03\/pi-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/donate\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=donation&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=mid-article\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have more than five or so people in the shop at any one time, so it won\u2019t be the same at all,\u201d Standiford said. \u201cOur longterm goal is streaming live acts, up to a ten piece, so that\u2019s really where I want to get back to. In the meantime the best we can do is to shoot out solo, duo, maybe trio performers. We won\u2019t get that \u2018immersed in live music\u2019 feeling, but it will be better than what we\u2019ve got going now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Standiford said that \u201ca half dozen\u201d musical acts have already contacted him, expressing their desire to play at the venue as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI don\u2019t think it will be an issue to get local folks, they just want to play,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re jonesin\u2019 too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Another decision that Standiford and his staff is wrestling with is how they want to stream concerts \u2014 whether it be through Facebook, YouTube, Grassroots TV, or all of the above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019re trying to get KDNK interested in joining in too, because it would be a pretty easy link to their mobile video station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Standiford had originally set a goal of $18,000 for the streaming project, and he said that with the Purvis family matching grant, he his within $5,000 of reaching that goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cRight now we\u2019ve got two and maybe three really good HD cameras, and a $5,000 switcher that GrassRoots TV is throwing in. 1st Bank gave us $3,000 for the equipment and $3,000 for general operations,\u201d Standiford said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe were just joking around this morning about how we couldn\u2019t do it any cheaper because so many people are donating their time and money. So it\u2019s a shoestring operation, but I think our stream is going to be major league quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:jbear@postindependent.com\">jbear@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/news\/local\/streamin-steves-close-to-becoming-reality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve\u2019s Guitars could begin livestreaming concerts by the end of this month.Nina Morningstar Bear Steve\u2019s Guitars owner Steve Standiford\u2019s longtime dream of livesteaming concerts from his intimate Carbondale venue is now closer than ever to becoming reality.
