LOS GATOS, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Netflix) - Band From TV, a spirited rock-and-roll group comprised of performers from some of television's most popular shows, will take center stage and be joined by stars Teri Hatcher, Hayden Panettiere,
Kristen Bell and Adrian Pasdar on August 9 as part of the Netflix LIVE! On Location (https://www.netflix.com/liveonlocation) outdoor concert and screening series. In their largest public performance ever, the band will perform at the free, family-oriented event, which will take place on the grounds of the Autry
National Center in Los Angeles and include a screening of classic television programs from the extensive library of TV content offered by Netflix.
Netflix LIVE! On Location is a concert and screening series, staged in famous outdoor locations, that features many of today's most popular stars live on stage with their bands and then on screen in their most enduring roles.
Following past concerts and screenings with Kevin Costner ("Field of Dreams," Dyersville, Iowa), Bruce Willis ("Armageddon," Kennedy Space Center, Fla.), Kevin Bacon ("Diner," Baltimore) and Dennis Quaid ("The Big Easy," New Orleans), this summer's performance by Band From TV brings a special twist to the series by pairing some of today's most popular TV stars with a screening of some of the most memorable television programs of all time, including "Mary Tyler Moore," "The Bob Newhart Show," "The Cosby Show" and "The Muppets Show."
Band From TV features guitarist James Denton ("Desperate Housewives"), drummer Greg Grunberg ("Heroes"), rock violinist Jesse Spencer ("House M.D.") and vocalist Bob Guiney ("The Bachelor" and TLC's "Date My House"). Ms. Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") will sing with the band while Ms. Panettiere ("Heroes") will introduce the group and join the players on stage along with Ms. Bell ("Veronica Mars" and "Heroes") and Mr. Pasdar ("Heroes").
Mr. Guiney will pull double duty as a performer and host of the event. In lieu of a band performance fee, Netflix is making a contribution to a variety of charities supported by Band From TV.
"For a lot of us TV is a career, and we love it. However, being able to be on stage and play music is a dream come true," said James Denton, band member and star of Desperate Housewives. "We are thrilled to bring our two worlds together and share it with so many people for such good causes."
"We are excited to expand our Netflix LIVE! On Location platform to include a band that embodies the freshness and creativity of TV today," said Leslie Kilgore, chief marketing officer for Netflix. "Television content is a significant part of the choices we offer at Netflix, so showcasing Band From TV as part of our signature summer series is the perfect way to pay tribute to this important genre while bringing the public entertainment they'll love."
The event will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. with a live performance by Band From TV, followed by a special two-hour screening of a series of classic television programs starting at 8:00 p.m. local time.
