Jon Kuritz of Live from Somewhere

On this week's episode, we're in conversation with Jon Kuritz, a video director who co-founded the nonprofit production house Live from Somewhere.Live from Somewhere is the group behind the music video series of the same name, which got its start during the pandemic by filming regional bands in all kinds of settings. They've since branched out into organizing the new Curators of Sound concert series at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture.The next Curators of Sound event is on Wednesday, August 20, and features the bands Museum of Light, Kung Fu Vinyl, True Hoods and Hayes Noble.Jon talks about that event as well as the upcoming Live from Somewhere premieres at the Garland Theater. Those have just been rescheduled to October 8 for Nothing Shameful and November 12 for Museum of Light.We also get into the rationale for organizing multi-genre concerts and the sheer amount of labor that goes into a labor of love.Thanks to founding sponsor Rogue Heart Media SPC for their continued support of ALAYT.
