These musicians included a DJ from Library and another artist from The Blind Pig Pub. The scene gave people the hope that things will get back normal soon.
A part of the "soft opening" was that the workers would stand outside the bars as if they were open, but they did not allow customers by saying, "I'm sorry, we're not open to the public yet."
