Episode 49 - Arts Everywhere - "Later Life, Creative Life" with Skip Kutz

This is the fifth in a special series entitled "Later Life, Creative Life", which explores what a creative life looks like in artists ages 60 and up.

Ken (Skip) Kutz is a renowned Saskatchewan bassist who was one of the most sought after musicians in Western Canada during the 1960s–70s music renaissance. Son of noted bassist Barney Kutz, Skip built a decades-long career playing across Western Canada and beyond—known for his skill, versatility, professionalism, and business savvy that let him earn a living as a musician. Today he focuses on arts advocacy and serves as president of the Saskatoon musicians’ Association. Fun fact: Skip  was the youngest ever member of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra as a 14 year old cellist and would go on to serve as principal bassist for 40 years!
