Join host Warren Zanes for an exploration of Bruce Springsteen’s classic album “Nebraska” with musical performances by Eric Church, Emmylou Harris, Noah Kahan, Lyle Lovett, The Lumineers, and Lucinda Williams

Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska: A Celebration in Words & Music airs Monday, September 2 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV

Recorded on a four-track cassette in his New Jersey bedroom, Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska has proved to be one of his most enduring works, a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching not for salvation but simply a reason to believe. On September 19, 2023, at Analog at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville, famed music biographer Warren Zanes — author of Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska — hosted an in-depth exploration of the album and the musician’s process. Springsteen’s songs were performed by multiple legends in their own right, with Zanes’s spoken word storytelling in between. Filmed exclusively for PBS, Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska: A CELEBRATION IN WORDS AND MUSIC is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations.

Explore the concert that despite all odds pulled together to become one of the most important days in rock and roll history.

Revival 69: The Concert that Rocked the World airs Saturday, August 31 at 3 p.m. on WXXI-TV .

Young, scrappy concert promoter John Brower put his life on the line (literally) to turn his failing Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival into a one-day event, later coined in rock mythology as “the second most important event in rock n’ roll history.”

The festival united rock legends like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, and Gene Vincent with The Doors, the biggest band in the world. But the 11th-hour arrival of John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band ignited a seminal moment for the 20,000 fans at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium, triggering Lennon’s final decision to leave the Beatles forever.

This compelling documentary shares the untold story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s unique relationship and the artistic journey that culminated in the iconic album Imagine.

John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky airs Sunday, June 8 at 11 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streaming live on the WXXI app.

The film features a new interview with Yoko, as well as new interviews with those closest to the couple, including John Lennon’s son Julian; photographer David Bailey, who famously captured the couple in a 1971 photograph that graced the cover of Vogue; gallerist John Dunbar, who introduced the couple; Dan Richter, a neighbor of Yoko’s who became their personal assistant; pioneering studio designer Eddie Veale, who built Ascot Sound Studios at their home in Tittenhurst Park; and Klaus Voormann, Alan White and Jim Keltner, musicians who played on the Imagine album. These influential figures provide open and unprecedented insight alongside previously unseen footage, photographs, and audio recordings.
