AVclub Akron:
Philip, along with Mike Anderson and Brent Veverka, co-founded AVclub Akron. The aim was to alleviate the effects of Covid-19 on the music community by providing (1) physical space for artists to perform, (2) pro audio/video services, and (3) live-streaming capabilities to reach audiences in new ways. AVclub Akron produced over 100 live-streamed concert events in the first year of the pandemic; below are some highlights:
