Originally formed by actor Greg Grunberg(drums) for a special one-night only performance, Band from TV has evolved into a veritable fundraising force. Joined by fellow actors Hugh Laurie(vocals, keyboards), James Denton(vocals, guitar), Bob Guiney(vocals) and Bonnie Somerville(vocals), Band from TV has taken the stage to raise almost two million dollars for charitable causes. Although not featured on this DVD, new band members include Jesse Spencer on violin and Teri Hatcher on vocals.
"My oldest son has epilepsy and I saw this band as a wonderful vehicle to help raise money and remove the stigma for the Epilepsy Foundation," comments Grunberg. "Having bandmates who also happen to be on some of the most popular shows on television creates an amazing opportunity to really reach out to our fans to help support wonderful causes by logging on to http://www.amazon.com/bandfromtv and purchasing the DVD," adds Grunberg. Laurie supports Save the Children, Denton supports Donate Life, Guiney supports The Art of Elysium and Somerville supports the Child Abuse Prevention Program and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
