Police Chief Anthony Holloway told St. Petersburg City Council members that the department has reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice and Florida Sen. Rick Scott about ways to repurpose the money.

‘Catalyst Sessions’ recap: Katie Talbert of DTSP Live: Saved By Streaming

Since mid-March, when the Covid curtain fell and sent full-time musicians home without any other means of support, Katie Talbert has livestreamed 97 hour-long concerts from her St. Petersburg home. In the beginning, she did it to give her erstwhile-gigging pals the opportunity to make a few bucks from virtual tips while plying their trade; eventually, her DTSP: Saved By Streaming became a life raft for dozens of music-makers she’d never met before.

Using professional lights, sound and cameras, Talbert became the bay area’s go-to concert producer. It wasn’t a job she necessarily wanted – she’s never charged anybody a dime – but after four months, she’s come to believe it’s something she was meant to do.
