Many venues in Seattle and beyond aren’t equipped to get wheelchair users inside or on stage, pointing to a broader issue of accessibility in live music. Emily Fox speaks with venues, performers, and concertgoers about this issue, including:
- Seattle musician Mindie Lind who wrote the article, “I Stopped Performing Music Because Venues Are Ableist.”
- Eric Howk, guitarist in the Grammy award-winning band, Portugal. The Man.
- Seattle concertgoer Jess Piraino who runs the Instagram account Shoes At Shows In Seattle.
We also hear from Seattle artist King Khazm about his song, disAbility.
