"We had all of these concerts planned for Provincetown and [we realized] it wasn't going to happen," said Seth of the origins of his virtual concert series. "I said, 'We've gotta bring it online and we've gotta be the first.' I knew that people would figure out how to do live concerts."

As the team was ironing out technical glitches in the spring, Seth admitted that they considered pre-taping the series."[My husband] James was watching and he said, 'We're so starved for live performing that it doesn't matter if there are technical glitches. It's so magical to see something live happening again. You have to make these concerts live, even if there are mistakes...'"

watch as he talks even more about the series, picks some of his favorite moments of Stars in the House, recalls stories from his time in Disaster! and so much more.
