NCM Fathom Events and Warner Bros. Records Present Spectacular
Lincoln Center Concert Event Originally Broadcast on the Eve of Groban's
Latest No. 1 Album Release
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With overwhelming fan demand continuing for Josh Groban's No. 1 album
released earlier this year, one of the most powerful voices in modern
popular music is returning to the big screen in a special edition of "Josh
Groban: All That Echoes Artist Cut." This special event, a
personal collaboration between Josh Groban, Warner Bros. Records and NCM
Fathom Events, will hit select movie theaters nationwide on Tuesday,
July 16 at 7:30 p.m. local time, with an updated welcome message to
movie theater audiences from the singer. Groban was up-close and candid
with fans during the original February 4 premiere event, broadcast from
New York's famed Lincoln Center, where he performed hits and selections
from his just-released album "All That Echoes," which debuted at No. 1
on the Billboard 200. In addition to his original February Q&A session
with fans who texted and tweeted from around the country, updates to
this special encore will include a very special behind-the-scenes
journey through the creative process of the making of "All that Echoes"
as seen through the eyes of Groban himself.
Tickets for "Josh Groban: All That Echoes Artist Cut" are
available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.
For a complete list of theater locations and prices, visit the NCM
Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).
The event will be broadcast to more than 425 select movie theaters
across the country through NCM's exclusive Digital
Broadcast Network. This cinema event was produced by LIVE FROM
LINCOLN CENTER, a Lincoln Center Media Production.
"The Fathom event featuring the concert ‘Live from Lincoln Center' was
such a wonderful experience for me and we want to do it again! The event
will include a lot of new footage, a huge amount of behind the scenes of
the making of "All that Echoes" and everything that went into it," said
Josh Groban. "If you weren't able to go last time, maybe you can come
this time, and if you did go last time and you want to do it again, come
bring a friend."
Fans attending the initial event in more than 500 U.S. movie theaters on
February 4 were among the first to hear Groban's new songs performed
live, as well as request songs to be included in the playlist that the
singer performed at the Allen Room, which features a stunning 50' x 90'
window overlooking Central Park. Groban co-wrote seven of the 12 tracks
that appear on "All That Echoes," which also includes five covers, such
as Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)",
Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová's "Falling Slowly" (the Oscar®-winning
song from the film Once), and Jimmy Webb's "The Moon's A Harsh
Mistress." Special guests on the album include Grammy®-winning
trumpet player Arturo Sandoval on "Un Alma Mas" and Italian superstar
vocalist Laura Pausini on "E Ti Prometerro."
"Fans in movie theaters across the country simply loved Josh's original,
live concert event broadcast this past February," said Dan Diamond,
senior vice president for NCM Fathom Events. "For one more night, Josh
Groban fans can experience that magic again and see new bonus features
created for this encore performance that will leave them wanting even
more."

ranks as Billboard's 14th top-selling artist of the
2000s—with more than 20 million units sold in the U.S. alone. He is also
