“The Art of Music: Sheryl Crow with Jason Isbell” Debuts on Public Television

Nine-time GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow is the first artist featured in the new Public Television series The Art of Music premiering this month. Presented by United MileagePlus® Cards from Chase and filmed in front of a live audience earlier this year at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Crow is interviewed by her friend and fellow GRAMMY Award-winning artist Jason Isbell.
 
As part of this unique series, Isbell led a conversation with Crow about her musical journey, sharing insights into their creative processes. The discussion intertwined some of Crow’s iconic songs which the duo performed together, delivering a singular musical experience.
 
The Art of Music was created to give viewers a rare look inside the artists’ lives and their creative practice. In this debut episode, Crow shares stories about her songs and significant moments in her career. Fans will also see performances of fan favorite tracks accompanied by Isbell including “Everyday Is A Winding Road,” “Redemption Day,” “My Favorite Mistake,” “Strong Enough” and “If It Makes You Happy” as well as “Evolution” the title track of her recent 11th studio album, Evolution.
 
“Art is what sustains us through all of our history. It is what documents who we are at any given moment,” shares Crow. “For me, art is the great hope.” 
 
“The Met’s musical instrument collection celebrates music from across time and across culture, and we like to think of instruments as art used to create art,” said Jayson Dobney, the Frederick P. Rose Curator in Charge of the Department of Musical Instruments at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. “Among its treasures is the world's oldest piano from Florence, crafted in 1720, alongside exquisite violins by Antonio Stradivari and the Amati family. We also house magnificent drums from Africa and ancient Chinese instruments, as well as a significant collection of iconic American guitars. It was a thrill to welcome Sheryl Crow and Jason Isbell, both extraordinary musicians, to view the collection before the performance.” 

The debut episode of The Art of Music will air on public television stations nationwide beginning this month on stations representing close to 90% USTVHH, with airdates through the fall (check local listings).

On the heels of the arrival of his 25th full-length studio album Orpheus Descending, artist John Mellencamp sits down with journalist Bob Costas for the premiere of the new intimate, one-hour public television series With, directed by Emmy Nominated Patrick Heaphy. The series premieres nationwide on public television tomorrow, July 1 (check local listings) and full episodes will also be available to stream weekly on WithTheShow.com. 
 
Featuring vulnerable conversations pairing music icons with fellow creators, musicians and friends for a candid glimpse inside the creation of their most beloved hits, With will feature five episodes of unheard stories, additionally pairing Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi with David Fricke; Peter Frampton with Trey Bruce at Analog Hutton Hotel; Mike Campbell with Fricke; and Angus Young and Brian Johnson of AC/DC with Fricke. Discussing the songwriting process, challenges within the music industry and philosophy behind their art, artists peel back the curtain, exposing the perseverance that goes into creating their music.
 
In the season opener, musician and longtime painter John Mellencamp talks with journalist Bob Costas about fame and his dual paths of creativity, being an upstander, having control over one’s art, breaking the rules, and his influences from Woody Guthrie to German Expressionism to his grandmother. Filmed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mellencamp expresses both sides of his artistry as he plays his guitar amidst a selection of his self-portraits and drawings assembled for the episode.
 
“John is a great artist, and to deal in understatement, an interesting and opinionated man,” mused Costas. “As it happens, we have known each other for more than 30 years and this is the latest of many interviews we have done together. Given the setting and the stage of John's life and career, it stands out as one of the most memorable.”
 
“It is an honor to have John Mellencamp and Bob Costas at The Metropolitan Museum of Art,” shares Don Maggi, executive producer of With. “John was our first choice to film at The Met to honor his achievements in his music and painting career.”
   
With is a production of Don Maggi with iMaggination, Inc. and directed by Patrick Heaphy of LCM247, and is distributed nationally by the National Educational Television Association (NETA). With was made possible by support from The Hutton Hotel Nashville Tennessee and Heavens Door Whiskey.

About John Mellencamp:
John Mellencamp, with his career in music spanning more than 35 years, is one of the most highly respected singer/songwriters of a generation. Mellencamp is incredibly acclaimed; he is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, the ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award, the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award and, more recently, the Founders Award—the top honor assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. He is also one of the most successful live concert performers in the world. In 1985, Mellencamp, together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young, created Farm Aid. The social activism reflected in his songs helped catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years. 
 
John continues to focus on another facet of his artistic expression: painting. His style has progressed over the years as evidenced by several gallery shows and published portfolios, and in recent years he has increased his output by completing over 150 new works. A self-curated book of Mellencamp’s work, John Mellencamp: Paintings and Assemblages, is out now via Rizzoli New York. 
 
"Legends of Rock: John Mellencamp," a permanent exhibition at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, opened last year. There, Mellencamp confirmed his massive “Live and In Person 2023” tour, which completed a stunning 77 date run. LA Weekly said, “Mellencamp strode out looking for all the world like a Brando or a Paul Newman or a James Dean—a Misfit who managed to find his place in the world through his music. 
 
A reissue of his seminal album Scarecrow is out now to critical praise, and features a wealth of bonus tracks, rarities and more. Mellencamp's 25th full-length studio album Orpheus Descending was released June 16 via Republic Records. It was recorded at his own Belmont Mall Studio and produced by Mellencamp. One of his most personal records to date, standout tracks “Hey God” and “The Eyes of Portland” focus on social issues Mellencamp continues to passionately advocate for.
 
Mellencamp continues his journey as the walking embodiment of rock icon; passionate, plain-spoken, and a self-proclaimed rebel. John Mellencamp continues to live and work in Bloomington, Indiana.

About Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs
The Dirty Knobs came together nearly two decades ago. What began as a less structured project for Campbell in between The Heartbreakers’ touring became something else altogether when they added the rhythm section of bassist Lance Morrison (Don Henley) and drummer Matt Laug (Slash, Alanis Morrissette).

What followed was several years of intimate, almost incognito, performances in the band’s home base of Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California cities. After all those years playing together, it became clear The Dirty Knobs should take what they were doing to the next level. Following the passing of Campbell’s longtime compatriot, friend and bandmate Tom Petty and his performances with Fleetwood Mac on their 2018-2019 World Tour, The Dirty Knobs released their album Wreckless Abandon in 2020 to widespread praise; Forbes declared, “The aptly titledWreckless Abandon is a wholly rollicking, joyous affair, a record whose 13 songs recall some of Campbell’s finest recorded moments alongside Petty as co-writer,” while American Songwriter proclaimed, “[Mike Campbell] doesn’t diverge from the essential sound of The Heartbreakers as much as it celebrates and builds on the legacy he helped establish.”

External Combustion, the new album from Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, released earlier this year via BMG represents Campbell’s second as a band leader, following up Campbell & The Dirty Knobs’ 2020 critically acclaimed debut album, Wreckless Abandon.

Critically acclaimed series "FRONT AND CENTER" featuring intimate performances from various artists returns to public television with a new season of seven, one-hour episodes. The series’ 11th season will feature a wide range of artists, from industry veterans Depeche Mode lead singer Dave Gahan, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame and Hank Williams, Jr. with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach; to chart toppers Gavin DeGraw and Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors; to rising stars Judah & the Lion and Lebanese-British pop star Mika. Venues range from the intimate setting of Analog at Hutton Hotel in Nashville, to the Brooklyn Bowl and the Paris Philharmonic, each uniquely connecting an artist to their fans. Season 11 debuts nationwide beginning Oct. 15 on public television stations (check local listings) and FRONT AND CENTER’s YouTube page and comes as many of the artists are on the road touring, offering viewers a second or only chance to catch their live experience.

Dave Gahan & Soulsavers kick off season 11 on Oct. 15 with covers from their very personal 2021 album, Imposter, including Eartha Kitt’s “Lilac Wine,” Neil Young’s “A Man Needs a Maid,” Nat King Cole’s “Smile,” Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet,” Cat Power’s “Metal Heart,” and Elmore James’ “I Held My Baby Last Night,” plus “Personal Jesus” from Dave’s original band.

Lebanese-British pop star Mika’s sold-out performance at The Paris Philharmonic with the National Orchestra of Ile-de-France features his debut breakout hit “Grace Kelly,” “Origin of Love,” “Toy Boy,” and more from the classically trained showman whose glittery style and emotive falsetto have earned him comparisons to Freddie Mercury.

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, together for 20 years but touring for the first time, perform at the Brooklyn Bowl with a set list that covers the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist’s career, introducing songs with his current band, including “Wicked Mind” and “Wreckless Abandon” plus “Refugee,” “You Got Lucky” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream” from his days with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Multi-platinum singer and songwriter Gavin DeGraw brings a fusion of pop, soul, country, folk and funk to Analog at Hutton Hotel in Nashville performing songs from his latest, Face the River, along with hits “Follow Through,” “Chariot,” “I Don’t Want to Be” and “Not Over You.”

As Judah & the Lion, Judah Akers and Brian Macdonald bring their Alternative Folk sound back to their Nashville roots at Analog at Hutton Hotel performing “Suit and Jacket,” “Take it All Back,” and more including covers of Blink-182’s “All the Small Things” and Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”

The Americana band Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors give an intimate performance at Analog at Hutton Hotel in Nashville of “What Would I Do Without You,” “Dragons,” “American Beauty” and more.

Country Blues legend Hank Williams Jr. is joined by special guest/producer Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys for a concert of songs from his latest release, Rich White Honky Blues including “.44 Special Blues” and classics by Robert Johnson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, R.L. Burnside and more.
