INFINITY HALL LIVE RETURNS THIS SUMMER WITH A NEW SEASON OF LIVE PERFORMANCES

CPTV's electrifying national music series Infinity Hall Live returns this month for a sixth season, featuring an eclectic slate of up-and-coming artists and old favorites. Filmed at Hartford's Infinity Music Hall before live audiences, this season kicks off with a dynamic performance by New Orleans rock band The Revivalists on Friday, July 7 at 10 p.m. on CPTV.

"My favorite part of working on Infinity Hall live each season is creating a delicious elixir of music," said series Executive Producer Laura Savini. 'We produce Infinity Hall Live to indulge yet challenge the viewer with each episode-always accompanied by incredible musicianship."

Artists also deliver honest backstage interviews throughout each episode, allowing audiences to get to know them on a deeper level. "Maybe you know Snarky Puppy but have never been exposed to Dave Mason-or vice versa," said Savini. "Here is your chance to experiment and enjoy great music, pure and simple."

The sixth season of Infinity Hall Live premieres Friday, July 7at10 p.m. on CPTV. For more information, including exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, visit ihlive.org. Featured musicians in Season 6 include:
