'Live
From The Essence Music Festival' to premiere Aug. 29 on TV One
(August 12, 2010) TV One Night Only: Live From The Essence Music
Festival, a two-hour musical extravaganza featuring the best
performances from the country's largest celebration of African-American
music and culture, will premiere on TV One Sunday, August 29 from 9-11
PM ET.
This marks the second consecutive year of TV One's partnership with
ESSENCE to broadcast the Festival, and only the third time in its
history that ESSENCEhas made its Festival performances available for
television broadcast. TV One Night Only: Live From The Essence Music
Festival captures exhilarating performances from some of the biggest
names in entertainment who performed over the course of three nights on
the Festival's main stage during the event, which took place July 2-4,
2010 in New Orleans.
Performing artists included in the special will include Janet Jackson,
Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, Jill Scott, Earth, Wind & Fire, Trey Songz,
Charlie Wilson, Monica, Raphael Saadiq, Keri Hilson and Gladys Knight. A
collection of short, behind-the-scenes vignettes will connect these
heart-stopping musical performances with intimate, unprecedented
celebrity access that only ESSENCE can provide its fans. The special
will chronicle rehearsals and preparations of the most dazzling stars
and capture personal exchanges between the artists – some for the first
time, some as old friends reuniting. And, TV One Night Only will take
the viewer where no other camera is allowed, to deliver the true emotion
of the talent backstage.
"ESSENCE is pleased to partner once again with TV One for what will be
an even bigger and better original television event than our first
special in 2009," said ESSENCE President Michelle Ebanks. "This
entertaining and inspiring special willtake the Essence Music Festival
experience straight from New Orleans into the living rooms of fans all
over the country, and will even provide a backstage pass that will allow
every viewer to experience VIP treatment."
"Based on the special's performance last year, our viewers clearly love
the Essence Music Festival, and it's no wonder why: Michelle Ebanks,
Angela Burt-Murray and their ESSENCE team have created an amazing
cultural – and musical – event," said TV One President and CEO Johnathan
Rodgers. "We are delighted to bring our viewers a taste of the
experience, with a front-row seat to the most incredible music concert
they could ever imagine."
