Group History
The creator of the group is the American actor Greg Granberg . The idea of creating a group came to him after a joint performance with some famous actors, which unexpectedly aroused wide interest of the public. Granberg decided to establish a group whose work could help raise funds for charity [1] . At the time of the creation of the group, each of its members was involved in various charitable projects. Granberg himself, whose son has epilepsy , actively assisted the National Fund for the Control of Epilepsy.
The band's debut performance was held in Los Angeles on August 27, 2007 at a banquet dedicated to the 58 Emmy Awards ceremony [1] . Since then, the group regularly gives charity concerts [2] .
The song The Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" performed by Band From TV was included on the soundtrack to the television series "Doctor House" [3] [4] .
