Here’s How A Hawaii Concert Promoter Got More COVID Aid Than Carnegie Hall … Jonny Mack and his companies received more money through a federal grant program for shuttered venues than anyone else in Hawaii.
WASHINGTON — When it comes to securing federal coronavirus relief aid, Hawaii-based concert promoter Jonny Mack is in good company.
Mack is a principal behind Dream Weekend, a large music festival that in 2019 brought big-name artists, such as Usher, Ice Cube and Marshmello, to the islands to play at Aloha Stadium.
He’s also one of the top beneficiaries of a federal grant program for the nation’s music halls, museums and theater companies that were forced to cancel shows and still the turnstiles during the pandemic.
