“How’s this for a pandemic performance: a Vancouver singer recently gave a live concert at a downtown supper club to an estimated 4,000 fans. Don’t be alarmed — it was a COVID-safe show at a time when stages across much of the country are off-limits.

So, what’s the catch?

Vancouver singer Jill Barber, who admits she used to be “afraid of tech,” performed in front of a massive green-screen, her band wearing motion capture monitors. At the back of the room, a team of technicians huddled over their computers and streamed the show to an online audience.”
