Robbie Bahr, former owner of the Pig Pen, is organizing an event to rally local musicians in a peaceful protest against data centers. The performance is scheduled for Sunday, September 13, at Riverview Park bandshell in Clinton, Iowa.
The protest aligns with a growing movement among major country artists, including Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, and Tanya Tucker, who have expressed concerns regarding data centers. This opposition stems from the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on music production, distribution, and copyright across the creative, technical, and commercial sectors of the industry.
