HOME > The Next Great American Band Fox's new 'American Band' reality series reveals host and judgesBy Christopher Rocchio, 08/27/2007
Fox's The Next Great American Band will apparently have an international feel.
Musician Sheila E. and Goo Goo Doll's front man John Rzeznik will round out The Next Great American Band's three-person judging panel.
The Next Great American Band has been scouring the country for musical groups of all ages, styles and genres, and a round of auditions was held last week in Las Vegas. "The range of music was awesome," Sheila E. told USA Today. "The experience was more like boot camp. We actually heard a lot of great bands, (and) we heard a few people we could have gonged." Following auditions, Dickson, Sheila E. and Rzeznik will whittle the hopefuls to 10 semifinalists who will then have the opportunity to perform in-front of a live studio audience. Home viewers will then be able to vote for their favorite acts each week, as each band will perform either original music or covers of varied styles designed to challenge their musical abilities as well as their relationships. The Top 3 acts will then compete against one another for a recording contract during The Next Great American Band's finale. The Next Great American Band is scheduled to premiere with a special two-hour episode on Friday, October 19 at 8PM ET/PT on Fox.
