New Documentary SOUND TRACKS: THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME to Air Nationwide This September
Award-winning Great Museums® Television's newest documentary, "Sound Tracks: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame & Museum," begins airing nationally on public television in September 2015. Narrated by musician/actor Steven Van Zandt, lead guitarist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, the one-hour HD film showcases the world's only museum devoted to the story of American culture through the lens of rock and roll.
To coincide with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's 20th anniversary, the documentary features interviews, histories and anecdotes by artists and rock pioneers. Graham Nash, (Crosby, Stills & Nash; The Hollies); Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead); Ann Wilson (Heart); and Darryl McDaniels (Run-DMC) lend musical and cultural commentary. Seymour Stein, founder of Sire Records; and Jann Wenner, Founder of Rolling Stone magazine and Co-founder of the Rock Hall provide insight into the story told by the museum.
Sound Tracks showcases the vitality of the Rock Hall, starting with the glistening prism of I.M. Pei's building on the shores of Cleveland's Lake Erie. "Within these walls lie the artifacts and stories of rock and roll, which is the most accessible art form of our time," explains Greg Harris, President and CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. "It is wonderful to roll out this documentary nationally, across every major market, on public television.
Sound Tracks reflects the museum's message that rock and roll, fueled by the power of innocence and youthful rebellion, has earned a place in our culture by defining our culture. "There's an argument that everything in the museum is revolutionary because that is rock and roll at its core -- to be different, to not follow the rules," says Craig Inciardi, Curator and Director of Acquisitions at the Rock Hall.
