In the midst of this pandemic, everyone is looking for some good vibes and Sunday people were able to rock out virtually.

Memphis bands held a virtual concert downtown. The virtual concert series is called #dontletmedownmem and will take place every Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

A local band or artist will perform live from the Chisca's rooftop while raising money for non-profit Slingshot Memphis.

The series will support musicians who are not able to bring their talent to Memphis stages due to the Coronavirus.
