I can’t stand it when men hog all the covers, but when it comes to the musicians in Band from TV, they can hog whatever they want. Known for packing venues while performing classic hits from their new album “Hoggin’ All the Covers,” the players, who are some of television’s most acclaimed actors, jam their hearts out for non-profits around the world.
Since coming together several years ago, thanks to founding member Greg Grunberg, the ensemble has raised more than $2 million for charitable causes. We caught up with two of the TV stars turned rock stars, Bob Guiney and Scott Grimes last week and listened to them dish out their perspective on leveraging celebrity for social good.
(Don’t miss Bob and Scott in the next “Good and Ready” episode, which will be posted here on Whatgives?! on Thursday, June 17th!
The Band From TV lineup includes Greg Grunberg (drums), a veteran of shows such as “Alias” and “Felicity” as well as the NBC hit “Heroes”; James Denton (guitar), currently starring in the ABC hit “Desperate Housewives”; Bob Guiney (vocals), who appeared on “The Bachelor” and on TLC’s “Date My House”; Jesse Spencer (violin) currently starring in the FOX hit “House”; Adrian Pasdar, from “Heroes” and “Desperate Housewives”; Scott Grimes from “American Dad” and “ER,” and world-class musicians Chris Kelley (Music Director), Barry Sarna (Eagles), David Leach (Ben Harper), Chris Mostert (Eagles) and child-star turned bass player Brad Savage.
