Due to COVID-19 venues are closed and musician's livelihoods have changed. Different relief funds have been set up to help these musicians and other people in the music industry. The problem is not only for the musicians who were planning go on the road, but for acts that were on tour already, and got canceled. Lots of money goes into renting tour busses, roadies, and renting hotel rooms. On top of that, cancellations are not easy and many smaller bands are finding themselves in debt.

Music COVID Relief
This fund seems to be the most general and broad one that I could find. They call themselves "a resource brought to you by partners in the U.S. Music Community to help music professionals access information and applications to receive benefits made available by the CARES Act (Phase III of the Coronavirus Stimulus bill signed into law March 27, 2020) and the “Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act” signed into law on April 24, 2020".
This one has a lot of credibility and statistics to back where the money goes, so this might be one of the best for musicians across the US.
