Artists from all over the country, from Garth Brooks to Juanes, are continuing to perform live without leaving their homes. It's become a necessity as music venues remain shut down in the wake of the coronavirus. And it likely won't change anytime soon.

COINCIDENCE? Watch this ‘Idol’ hopeful — not the one you’re thinking — put a spin on ‘Amazing Grace’

That means singer, bands and other performers have lost most if not all of their income. Livestreaming has become more important than ever. And we're here to showcase some of the best.

Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen join us at 11 a.m. Friday to perform over at the Preview from the Houston Chronicle Facebook page. The Texas country duo has been friends for two decades and are solo stars in their own right.

Their relationship is exemplified on "Hold My Beer, Vol. 2." The collaborative album was released this month and includes the cheeky single and video "Rodeo Clown." It's the follow-up to 2015's "Hold My Beer, Vol. 1" and features songs written by Waylon Jennings and Lori McKenna.

If you like the Preview from the Houston Chronicle page now, you'll get a notification for our next Chron concert. They happen at 11 a.m. Tuesdays and Fridays.
