Live from Abbey Road

Tuesdays at 8pm ET/10 PT

Live From Abbey Road is a music TV series independently produced for a worldwide audience with the highest quality of global talent. Live From Abbey Road is creatively ambitious, breaking new ground for music on television as it strives to sound like an album and look like a movie. Each 60-minute show has three artists, with no studio audience and no host, instead featuring each musician speaking about their work, and showing behind the scenes footage of the musicians working on their performance and leading to the performance. Shot with 35mm lenses in the intimacy of Studios One and Two, the recordings are designed to look like succinct music movies, giving a personal insight direct into the magical world of music and its makers; it is a vision of musicians being musicians as they are out of the public eye.

The series features Feist, Blondie, The Kaiser Chiefs, Transfer, Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale, Anna Calvi, Foster The People and Villagers.
