ARTISTS HAVE HELD QUARTERLY CONCERTS TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR INDIANA NONPROFITS TO HELP KIDS, ADULTS AND FAMILIES IN NEED.
BUT LIKE MOST HOOSIER BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS, CONCERTS FOR A CAUSE HAS HAD TO PIVOT AND COME UP WITH A NEW WAY OF DOING
BUSINESS. THEY'RE TAKING THE VIRTUAL ROUTE. I'M PLEASED TO WELCOME CO-FOUNDER BRUCE KIDD WITH MORE
ON CONCERTS FOR A CAUSE "CARRY OUT CONCERTS." AN IMPORTANT BRUCE, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU, GERRY. PLEASURE TO
BE WITH YOU. >> FIRST OF ALL, CONCERTS FOR A CAUSE, SOMETHING THAT YOU AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN VERY PASSIONATE
ABOUT OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, RAISED A LOT OF MONEY FOR NON-PROFITS IN THE AREA. GIVE US A QUICK THUMBNAIL ON CONCERTS
FOR A CAUSE, AND WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT. >> YEAH, THANK YOU. WE'VE STARTED IN JANUARY OF 2016,
WE'VE HELD 15 CONCERTS SO FAR. AND WE'VE RAISED, DONATED $230,000 TO 15 DIFFERENT LOCAL NOT FOR PROFITS THAT ARE
PROBABLY IMPACTING THE LIVES OF SEVERAL THOUSAND KIDS, ADULTS, AND FAMILIES IN NEED. AND THAT WAS REALLY THE OBJECTIVE. THAT'S
WHAT WE WANTED TO DO, GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND HELP THOSE THAT ARE LESS FORTUNATE IN DEALING WITH DIFFICULTIES IN
THEIR LIFE, AND THE QUARTERLY CONCERTS HAVE GROWN FROM 100 PEOPLE IN 2016 MIGHT SHOW UP, NOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO 400
AT OUR CONCERTS. UNTIL THIS UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE WITH THE COVID-19 SITUATION, WE HAD A GREAT YEAR LINED UP THIS YEAR,
AND WE'LL JUST POSTPONE IT UNTIL WE CAN ALL GO BACK OUT IN PUBLIC, AND WE'LL KEEP POSTING THEM HOPEFULLY STARTING IN JUNE.
>> LIKE ANY GOOD BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION, YOU ARE PIVOTING ON THE FLY TO CARRYOUT CONCERTS. TELL US WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. >> YEAH, OUR BOARD JUST DECIDED WE COULDN'T GO TWO OR THREE MONTHS, HOPEFULLY NOT MORE, AND
NOT PROVIDE QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT TO ALL THE BIG SUPPORTERS WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. LIKE THEM, YOU
KNOW, WE'RE ALL HOLED UP IN OUR HOMES, AND ISOLATED FROM OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND CO-WORKERS. AND SO WE'VE DECIDED
TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE LOCAL ARTISTS THAT HAVE PLAYED FOR US IN THE PAST, AND SEE IF THEY'D LIKE TO BE A PART OF THIS
NEW CONCERT SERIES CALLED CARRYOUT CONCERTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE CARRYING OUT FOOD, AND OTHER GOODS TO THEIR HOMES TO TRY AND
SUPPORT OUR LOCAL RETAILERS. WE JUST DECIDED WE'D PROVIDE SOME FOOD FOR THEIR SOUL AS I CALL MUSIC. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT IS
FOR ME. IT'S A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF MY LIFE EVERY DAY. AND SO, THE CARRYOUT CONCERTS ARE DELIVERING LIVE MUSIC
DIRECTLY INTO THEIR FAMILY ROOMS EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, WITH LOCAL ARTISTS. AND WE HAVE -- WE'VE DONE TWO SO FAR,
AND THEY'VE GONE REALLY WELL. AND HAD A NICE AUDIENCE AT BOTH OF THEM, AND WE EXPECT IT TO GROW AS MORE PEOPLE FIND OUT
ABOUT IT, AND THEY'RE FREE, AND YOU JUST LOG IN AND ENJOY A BREAK FROM THE ISOLATION BLUES FOR 30 MINUTES OR 45 MINUTE.
>> 30 SECONDS, BRUCE, BUT THIS IS GIVING YOU A CHANCE, REALLY, TO EXPAND AND TO DO A LOT MORE CONCERTS, RIGHT?
>> OH, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE THIS WAY, WE'RE ABLE TO GIVE LE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. THEY'RE NOT FUNDRAISERS, WE'RE NOT
TRYING TO RAISE MONEY THIS TIME. WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT IN THE SPRING, LATE SPRING, OR SUMMER, WITH OUR TRADITIONAL CONCERTS.
THIS IS JUST A WAY TO TRY AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME ENJOY AND HAPPINESS AND ENTERTAINMENT WHILE THEY'RE SITTING AT HOME.
YOU CAN ONLY WATCH SO MUCH RERUN TV. SO, EVERY TUESDAY, AND THURSDAY NIGHT FROM 7:00 TO 7:30, WE'VE GOT LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTISTS WHO ARE PLAYING HOMES INTO YOUR HOME. IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN.
>> VERY GOOD, BRUCE, BRUCE KIDD,
