The Format

Each week, viewers get plugged in to the stage at The Grove of Anaheim, Calif. where four to five musical acts grace the stage. Two hosts manage the main stage, introducing the bands and staying with the crowd. Backstage, an interviewer waits in the green room to interview the acts after their performances, giving fans the chance to hear personally from the artists. Also there will be a Live VJ Social Media host backstage. Through unique integration, fans have the opportunity to submit questions to be answered every week at HitMusicCentralUSA.com or by texting into a dedicated number.

The episodes are broken into five distinct segments, each designed to highlight a specific type of performer.

1. Centerstage - These chart-topping artists have sold Gold and Platinum records. They have played in the biggest venues and have rubbed elbows with late-night talk show hosts and festival promoters around the world and are now coming to life every week from The Grove of Anaheim.
2. Spotlight - These artists are brand new to the scene and are generating buzz throughout the social network world. Hit Music Central USA sits down with the artists and learns a little more about them before sending them to the stage, where they'll play that tune the way it was meant to be heard!
3. Showtime - Hear your favorite TV shows and films come to life when we sit down with the musicians, composers, and actors as they talk about the inspiration, process, and creation of the music that we hum to each other on long road trips.
4. Encore - These artists defined a decade. They paved the way for current hit artists. HMC takes the audience into their world today. They'll tell old tour stories from the road, share their favorite new artists, and who knows... maybe share some unreleased tracks or collaborate with one of the other artists! When the show is over, viewers can head to HitMusiCentralUSA.com for exclusive bonus performances.
5. Pick to Click™ – Everyone claims to know the hottest new band nobody knows of yet. A band that should have had its break years ago. Now the audience has the power to get those unknown bands onto the national stage. Bands upload pictures, videos, songs, and more to HitMusicCentralUSA.com, and it's up to the audience to spread the word virally and get their favorite bands picked through votes on the site. Once at the Grove, these bands will share their story as well as their songs.
