Supergroup Charity Battle of the Bands TV Concept in the Works

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 12, 2004 -- Supergroup TV Pilot Concept: It�s America vs. England � the two countries that have contributed the most to Rock/Pop music. This is a Reality based TV show featuring famous talented musicians forming a fantasy rock dream team in a music studio for a week or more to see what kind of album they can produce.

Both Supergroups make and release albums and they share in the profits of their albums. Whichever group sells the most albums in a certain amount of time wins. The winning supergroup will get a million dollars each to donate to their favorite charity, plus a % of the album sales can go to charity as well. Also, the stars would receive an appearance payment commensurate with the profitability of the show.



The reason I want USA vs. UK is the fervor over the Ryder Cup is intense in Golf � even more so than the Olympics. Remember � the winner is decided by how many albums are bought � not by inaccurate voting on the Internet � or by judges with questionable opinions (American Idol). To host the show, I would like to get someone like Sheryl Crow.

In subsequent years, it doesn�t have to be USA vs. UK � instead it can be men vs. women. It definitely has to be that Supergroup concept where you take musicians that have made it on their own � but when join together into a Supergroup � magic can happen � or disaster � either way we�re there to catch it on film.

With this show, if the musicians are in the same studio for 2 weeks and cameras roll continuously, I estimate that each day could be edited into one weekly episode. I think an hour show � the first half hour for England studio footage and the second half hour for USA studio footage. Fans will like the music, the personalities, the conflicts, the competition and the fact that it�s benefiting charities.

This TV show is an idea of mine, Garrett Jennings, that I've registered with The Writers Guild of America. At this point, I'm just interested in the charity aspect of this and this website is not-for-profit. I wanted to introduce you to the great charities that all these artists support. Now, if there's anyone out there that would like to produce a show like this or has any contact with any of these artists, please contact me at garrettjennings55@yahoo.com to discuss producing this TV show. I'd like to talk to anyone interested in buying this idea from me or co-producing this idea with me.
