WealthTV to Air Concert Series in 3D and HD Featured at Hard Rock Cafe

SAN DIEGO, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- WealthTV, the premier luxury lifestyle and entertainment network, has concluded an agreement to produce and broadcast, in 3D and high definition, the ACME Dry Goods Roadshow @ Hard Rock Cafe, a fifteen to twenty concert tour series featuring acoustic sets from today's most influential artists.  Each concert will feature one artist or band that is a past Grammy Award winner/nominee, American Music Award winner/nominee, Country Music Award winner/nominee, or is listed in the top 40 on the Billboard charts during 2010 or 2011.  These one-of-a-kind acoustic events will take place exclusively at Hard Rock Cafe locations throughout the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando and others.

"The Roadshow concerts give fans the opportunity to see multi-platinum recording artists in a small, intimate setting and allows them to watch it at home in HD and 3D on all WealthTV platforms," explains Charles Herring, President of WealthTV.  "If there was ever a moment to capture these incredible recording artists in 3D, now is the time."

"The essence of the ADG Roadshow is to celebrate the past 40 years, the present and the future of the Hard Rock Brand," explains Alarik Skarstrom, COO of Tiger Talent and Producer of the ACME Dry Goods Roadshow @ Hard Rock Cafe. "We are extremely excited to be working with Hard Rock."

WealthTV will produce a one-hour, 3D and HD program from each concert, showcasing the entire concert, along with highlights of the artists as they prepare for the performance.

"The WealthTV audience is not just interested in the performance, but the stories and emotions behind the artists," says Cameron Westfall, VP of Programming at WealthTV.  "Through each one-hour episode, we'll seek to capture more than just a concert; we will capture what it's like to be the artist as they prepare for the show ahead."

The launch of the roadshow series is set for early September, and will feature numerous multi-platinum recording artists to be announced with Hard Rock Cafe locations in the next couple of weeks.  WealthTV will premier this series on its 24/7 linear standard definition and high definition cable channels starting in October 2011.
