Profile

Jonathan Healey is a live concert Video Director specializing in multi-camera IMAG, screen choreography, and large-scale touring productions. Over more than two decades, he has directed thousands of live performances for artists including Zac Brown Band, Dave Chappelle, Dead & Company, the Grateful Dead, John Mayer, Billy Strings, members of The Rolling Stones, Trey Anastasio, and many others.

His directing combines live camera storytelling with multi-screen composition, multi-ME switching, programmed visual transitions, and close integration with lighting, scenic, and playback systems. Healey is known for treating the complete screen environment as part of the performance rather than simply supplying conventional IMAG coverage.

His work spans arenas, stadiums, amphitheaters, theaters, and major festivals, including Madison Square Garden, Hyde Park, Red Rocks, Hollywood Bowl, Wrigley Field, Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, Radio City Music Hall, and the Ryman Auditorium.
