Today, the Spotlight shines On Cat Henry, the Brooklyn, NY-based Executive Director for Live Music Society, a philanthropic foundation whose mission is to recognize and protect small music venues and listening rooms across the U.S. so that live music remains accessible to all.
Before LMS, Cat served as Vice President, Concerts & Touring, for Jazz at Lincoln Center and is currently curator of jazz programs for Hudson Hall, in Hudson, New York; Cat is also talent buyer for Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Cat has programmed, produced and appeared at countless music and arts events and her combined experience gives her a unique perspective on the needs and concerns of artists, venues and other stakeholders in the live events ecosystem.
In addition to the issues of the day, Cat spoke with us about Live Music Society’s grant programs - including the current application period they are in.
