Hosted by accomplished musicians and music educators Arthur LA Buckner and Nahre Sol, each episode will be a unique combination of performances and video essay explainers. Throughout the series, Buckner s background in gospel, funk and hip-hop is joined by Sol's expertise in classical and composition to illuminate music's universality and to build a community of music lovers.
Music is a great unifier, it brings people together from all backgrounds because it echoes our deepest cultural and social influences, said Brandon Arolfo, Senior Director, PBS Digital Studios. As an avid music lover, I am excited to bring SOUND FIELD to PBS Digital Studios. Nahre and LA are talented hosts who will enlighten audiences with deep knowledge about music and its impacts on the world.

The format of the series varies by episode, bringing viewers a 360-degree perspective on their favorite songs and genres.

Our team couldnt be more thrilled to be working on another series with PBS Digital Studios, said Maribel Lopez, Director of Rewire.org and executive producer of the series. Being based out of Twin Cities PBS, we have incredible artistic and musical inspiration around every corner that will feed into SOUND FIELD. We cant wait to share Nahre and LAs energy and expertise with music fans of all kinds through this show.
The series premieres with an episode on James Brown and how his band created the DNA for funk.
