Local musician creates 'quarantune' movement

Rochester, N.Y. — A Rochester native is trying to get young people to be creative during the COVID-19 crisis.

Musician Elvio Fernandes put out the call on Instagram for musicians ages 18 and younger to write a song called "Quarantune".

The word "quarantine" had to be in the lyrics.

The musician from Daughtry and Uncle Plum fame received 55 videos from around the country. When he gets to 64, he will create a March Madness-style bracket and let Instagram followers decide on the winner.
