The June issue of Relix will feature an extended cover story on “The Power of Live,” which will examine the profound impact of live performance on all of us. The article will draw on the perspectives of musicians, concert industry personnel and fans alike to consider the social, cultural, economic and even physiological significance of live concerts and consider what the future holds for such events.

Since so much of the live music experience is communal and collaborative, we’d love to hear your thoughts. We’re putting out a call for an essays of 150 words or less on what “The Power of Live” means to you. We will select some of our favorites to appear in the upcoming issue of Relix.
