Robert Redford, Jack White and T Bone Burnett are banding together with PBS and BBC Arena on historical music recording documentary “American Epic.”
The three-part feature-length film, which will showcase contemporary artists in recording sessions, is set to air in the U.S. and U.K. this fall. Additionally, the doc will include companion music releases from Columbia Records, Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings and White’s Third Man Records.
“‘American Epic’ takes us on a journey across time to the birth of modern music, when the musical strands of a diverse nation first combined, sparking a cultural renaissance that forever transformed the future of music and the world,” PBS described.
