Bob Crawford, the bassist of The Avett Brothers, has shared he will host a new original audio docu-series, Concerts of Change: The Soundtrack of Human Rights, on SiriusXM’s Volume channel. The program will debut on March 22.

The series will focus on examining artists in relation to their music, activism, and leadership at benefit concerts from the 1970s through the 1990s. It will feature conversations with Bono, former-President George W. Bush, Joan Baez, Steven Van Zandt, Bob Geldof, and many more artists, politicians and journalists. 

“Concerts of Change has been a real passion project for me,” shared Crawford. “The impact these concerts had on my life– not only musically but as an activist and historian– have continued to be an inspiration for me today. We’ll take a look at how musicians in the 1980s tackled human rights, racism and the impact of living in the shadow of the Cold War. All issues that are relevant again today.” 

“We’re excited to partner with Bob on the new docu-series where he gets to explore the things he loves– music and history,” said Roger Coletti, Exclusive Producer of SiriusXM’s Volume channel. “We can’t wait for our audiences to jump right into this series that explores pivotal moments in time, through Bob’s insightful conversations with an all-star lineup of artists and activists.”

Concerts of Change: The Soundtrack of Human Rights begins on March 22 at 1 p.m. ET and will air bi-weekly on SiriusXM’s Volume channel 106. Extended bonus content with longer interviews and outtakes will be available exclusively on the SiriusXM app beginning March 22.
