AXS TV will present an all-new series of music documentaries about landmark live-music venues in If These Walls Could Rock, including an episode about Preservation Hall.
If These Walls Could Rock joins the returning investigative documentary series Music’s Greatest Mysteries in the network’s new Wednesday lineup, which is dedicated to taking viewers inside music and behind the scenes with a night of in-depth interviews and exclusive performances, featuring some of music’s biggest names.
If These Walls Could Rock’s inaugural season includes six 30-minute episodes that take viewers on a journey through the country’s most iconic music venues and bring the rich histories of these landmarks to life. The series highlights the important role the venues hold in their native cities and details how local music culture has been influenced by the venues themselves and the artists who have passed through them. The stories are told through insightful interviews with knowledgeable staff, both past and present, industry experts and notable artists. Each episode also profiles a different artist every week, who shares and creates his or her own personal connection to the featured venue before taking the stage for an exclusive private performance.
The series kicks off on July 7 as soulful blues rockers Vintage Trouble go on an emotional journey of self discovery at the Old Brick Church in Charleston on July 7. Other highlights include personal conversations with folk hero Jackson Browne, who returns to the stage where he came of age as an artist at The Troubadour in Los Angeles (July 14); alt-rock mainstays Big Head Todd And The Monsters, who come home to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver (July 21) and multi-talented R&B star and hometown royalty Ivan Neville at Preservation Hall (July 28). Additional episodes will put the spotlight on venues such as The Caverns in Nashville (August 4), which boast natural acoustics and unparalleled sights in a unique subterranean setting; and the historic Aragon Ballroom in Chicago (August 11), a local institution known for its secret tunnels installed during Prohibition.
Episodes will air at 7:30 p.m. CT. For more information, visit here.
