Multiple Grammy Award-winning artist Aaron Neville will be featured on CBS Sunday Morning on March 3^rd. Journalist Anthony Mason visited Neville at the famous Electric Lady Studios in New York City for an in-depth interview in the same room that the soul/R&B legend recorded his first Top 10 album and highest charting set ever with his recent release, My True Story. The doo-wop inspired album was released on Blue Note Records and was co-produced by label President Don Was along with Keith Richards. Mason also tagged along with Neville in his hometown of New Orleans for an intimate and unique conversation about the singer’s career in music spanning over 50 years.

Starting on March 2^nd, PBS will air the special Aaron Neville: Doo Wop: My True Story — a concert filmed in November at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl — throughout their March pledge campaign (check your local listings). The program features Aaron Neville performing songs from his album My True Story. An incredible array of musicians and guests will join Neville, including: Greg Leisz on guitar (Beck, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams), George G. Receli on drums (Bob Dylan, James Brown), Tony Scherr on bass (Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, Rufus Wainwright), Charles Neville on saxophone (Neville Brothers); Michael Goods on piano, Don Was on organ, Joel Katz, David Johnson and Earl Smith, Jr. on background vocals and, finally, special guests Paul Simon and Joan Osbourne.

Captured at the Brooklyn Bowl in November 2012, the concert featured special guests including Eugene Pitt of the Jive Five (who co-wrote the album’s title song), and Dickie Harmon from the Del-Vikings. All of the songs on My True Story were hand-picked by Neville himself. They are songs that have remained close to his heart since he was a child. The selections include classics by vocal group giants such as Little Anthony and the Imperials (“Tears on My Pillow”), Hank Ballard and the Midnighters (“Work with Me Annie”), and the Drifters (“Money Honey,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “This Magic Moment”). To Neville though, these songs weren’t just the soundtrack to his youth; they became the underpinning for all of the remarkable music he has created across five decades.

You can now stream Aaron’s session with pianist Michael Goods from KEXP Radio in Seattle, right here. This sessions includes stripped down performances of “This Magic Moment,” “Pledging My Love” and more from ‘My True Story’.

NPR has already weighed in on My True Story, stating “it’s not trying to make doo-wop sound contemporary so much as dislodge it from its time capsule and free it to drift across eras…It’s that unmistakable affection, dispensed with [Neville’s] sweet voice that’s lost none of its considerable luster, which makes My True Story resonate as more than a mere footnote in Neville’s half-century of music. It’s a labor of love, to be sure, but the singer and his cohorts try something bold, too: They celebrate these relics in ways that make them feel relevant to the future.” The Wall Street Journal has called My True Story “unfettered Aaron Neville. With Mr. Richards on guitar and featuring an exceptional performance by New Orleans drummer George G. Receli, the singer with the unmistakable tenor has been liberated from the constraints of middle-of-the-road pop to perform the glorious music of his youth.”

In connection with the release of My True Story, Neville is making a series of high-profile appearances, including performances on The Today Show on January 23^rd and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on January 29^th, a featured interview on NPR’s Morning Edition on January 24^th, and a sit-down interview on PBS’ Tavis Smiley that airs in February (check local listings). Neville also performed on WNYC’s Soundcheck which airs on January 23^rd between 9 and 10 pm ET on 93.9 FM and will be posted here, and delivered a performance for NPR’s “Free At Noon” concert series that was broadcast live from Philadelphia’s World Café (listen here). In addition, PBS will air the special Aaron Neville: Doo Wop: My True Story — a concert filmed in November at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl — in March 2013.

Neville will also be honored by the Grammy Museum, which is celebrating Neville’s career with an intimate discussion and performance hosted by Grammy Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli. An Evening With Aaron Neville, presented by American Express, will be held in the Clive Davis Theater on January 28^th at 8 p.m. All ticket proceeds benefit the GRAMMY Museum. For more information, visit grammymuseum.org.

Last week, it was announced that Neville will headline the 2013 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which takes place in Neville’s hometown from April 26^th through May 5^th. Neville will perform on the final Sunday, closing out the Gentilly Stage with his Quintet.

In addition, Neville has been selected as the featured artist on this year’s official Jazz Fest poster, a significant honor as these limited-edition works of art are a cherished part of the festival and quickly become collector’s items that sell out before the end of the event. Previous poster subjects include Louis Armstrong, Wynton Marsalis, Mahalia Jackson, and Fats Domino, among many other artists connected to the great city of New Orleans. The Neville limited-edition silkscreen poster was designed by James Michalopoulos and is available from www.art4now.com.

Neville will return to the road in support of My True Story in the spring, including headlining slots at the Tri-C Jazz Fest in Cleveland and the Houston International Festival. Please see below for dates. Please see the Tour Dates page for details.
