from Earth Wind & Fire. Maddalone says,<br />
“The show aims to inform and entertain the<br />
new artist (and general public),” he says, “with<br />
veteran performers and even iconic guests.<br />
We are working on Aretha Franklin as we<br />
speak. Our guests ‘talking and showing’ is<br />
exactly what the knowledge hungry artist needs<br />
in today market.” See http://youtube.com/<br />

Most Recent: Private Sessions<br />
This fall, the Emmy winning A&E music<br />
show Private Sessions is coming back<br />
in partnership with IndieMusicTV, a 24/7<br />
social media broadcast network. Viewers<br />
will now be able to live stream Private<br />
Sessions, which launched in 2007 and<br />
features interviews and performances with<br />
popular bands and artists, in over 250<br />
countries. Returning host Lynn Hoffman<br />
launched the new series Sept. 25 at 9 p.m.<br />
EST with an episode featuring Maroon 5’s<br />
Adam Levine and James Valentine, who<br />
perform hit Maroon 5 songs including “This<br />
Love” and “She Will Be Loved.”<br />
“He talked about how when he was<br />
young, his music teacher told him to give<br />
up on playing the guitar, because it would<br />
never amount to anything,” Hoffman says<br />
about Levine, “and he promptly put up his<br />
middle finger to the camera while saying,<br />
‘Look at me now.’”<br />
Hoffman and Levine talked about M5's<br />
initial monstrous success, from starting<br />
their career back in high school to opening<br />
for legends like the Rolling Stones and the<br />
Police. “At the time we taped this show,”<br />
she says, “Maroon 5 was struggling to<br />
make a comeback, right before Adam<br />
started his stint as a judge on NBC’s hit<br />
show, The Voice, which catapulted Maroon<br />
5 and Adam straight back to the top––but<br />
you would never know it.”<br />
Hoffman says her interviewing rule of<br />
thumb is to treat everyone the same, “like<br />
regular, normal people.”<br />
These seemingly larger-than-life artists,<br />
she says, “whose job is to create<br />
fantastic works of art that draw emotion,<br />
make people think, are just people like<br />
you and me. I’ve found that just about all<br />
of the artists and entertainers I’ve met and<br />
worked with over the years have been very<br />
down-to-earth.”<br />
Private Sessions can be streamed<br />
through IndiMusic TV channels on Roku<br />
and Opera TV, and soon through Google<br />
Chrome, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Netflix<br />
and more.<br />
