Imagine it's a normal, pre-coronavirus Friday. You stare at the clock until it finally strikes 5, then power walk out of your office and head straight to the T. The only thing stopping you? The sound of one of Boston's incredible street musicians -- like violinist Vivian (violinviiv) playing one of her pop, EDM and hip hop mixes and mashups.
Recreate that experience from your home with this week's edition of The Boston Calendar's Live at Five: Virtual Happy Hour Concert Series. Friday at 5 p.m., tune in via Facebook Live or Instagram Live to enjoy a live streaming performance from Vivian, followed by local independent songwriter, performer, and producer That One Eyed Kid.

You can also support Boston artists by making a donation to the City of Boston's Artist Relief Fund or the Boston Music Makers Relief Fund operated by nonprofit The Record Co.
So pull up the live stream Friday at 5 p.m., order some delivery or takeout from your favorite local restaurant, and pour yourself a drink. You know what, go ahead and pour yourself two drinks for the price of one because you make the rules at this happy hour.
