On the Record with Mick Rock
coming to Ovation TV 8/2 at 8PM ET
Mick Rock premieres with an original spin on the musician profile series
Oh! We are all in for musical treat! Mick Rock is as famous for capturing iconic images of ’70s rock stars as he is today, photographing the up-and-coming of the music industry. He now takes his insights to a new level, hosting a MUST SEE series that takes a new twist on musician interviews. Premiering 8/2 at 8:00PM ET on Ovation TV, I will be glued to my set for his can’t-miss interview with Josh Groban. Special Bonus: We get to hear Josh sing as well!
The premise of the series, On the Record with Mick Rock, is Mick traveling with the musician back to where it all began…their hometown. During the premiere episode, native Angeleno and multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban takes Mick on an inspiring tour of Los Angeles, relating stories about a high school teacher who mentored him in his success, giving us a glimpse of the after-school Shakespeare program he personally supports and treating Mick (and all of us as well SQUEEEE!) to a moving performance of his song, Hidden Away. Premieres 8/2 8:00pm EST!

The best performance I have ever seen was cirque du soleil.
I think the best musician today is Hozier.
The greatest concert I have ever experienced was The Goo Goo Dolls with Matchbox Twenty!
I think Paul McCartney was the greatest Beatle.
The best performance I ever saw was the musical Rent.
In my opinion the best musician today is Andy Bell.
The greatest concert I ever experienced was my first Erasure concert.
I think the greatest Beatle is Paul McCartney.
Greatest concert experience was seeing a U2 concert at Slane Castle in Ireland back in 2001.
The best performance I ever attended was Toby Keith in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The sound system wasn’t the best and there were no pyrotechnics and very basic lighting, but it felt like he was singing to each of us individually. There was also something very special about hundreds of American soldiers joining in to sing the song “American Soldier.”
I think the best modern musician is lady gaga. Yes, she has a strange persona but she can sing and is a great songwriter.
You asked some tough questions. I personally like Christian Music these days.
Some of my favorite bands from the 80s are: Chicago, Air Supply.
The best performance I ever saw was a da performance in court.
I think Tyalor Swift is the best musician today.
I haven’t been to any memorable concerts.
I saw John Denver perform for the first time back in 1966 with the Chad Mitchell Trio as their new guitarist and singer and that was the greatest concert I ever saw.
I think Paul McCartney was the greatest Beatle because I think it had a bigger musical influence than the other Beatles.
Dave Grohl is the best musician today. He is single handedly saving rock and roll by preserving it so many different ways from Sound City to Sonic Highways, the man is going to be the legend of our time.
I have attended several of Kristian Bush’s ,formerly with Sugarland, concerts. He puts on a non stop show for 2 hours. He is a down to earth guy. After the concert, he meets his fans.
