Dave Grohl Drops Teaser from New Series ‘From Cradle to Stage’

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and his mum Virginia’s new television show From Cradle to Stage has finally got an official release date, along with a new teaser clip.

Directed by Grohl, the first episode of the unscripted series is set to arrive on Paramount’s streaming service Paramount+ on May 6, which is Mother’s Day in the US.

As displayed in the show’s new teaser, it’ll follow Grohl and his mum, Virginia Hanlon Grohl, as they learn about the relationships of six other musicians and their respective mothers.

The musician-and-mother guests set to appear on the series are Imagine Dragons‘ Dan Reynolds and Christine Reynolds, Pharrell and Dr. Carolyn Williams, Miranda and Bev Lambert, Brandi and Teresa Carlile, Rage Against The Machine‘s Tom Morello and Mary Morello, plus Rush‘s Geddy Lee and Mary Weinrib.

“I went on the road with my son David to explore the stories of mothers of musicians,” said Virginia in the clip. Watch it below.


From Cradle to Stage is based on Virginia’s 2017 book of the same name, in which she spoke to other mothers of famous musicians, such as Janis Winehouse, Marianne Stipe and more.

“I believe that the relationship between a musician and their mother is so important because it’s the foundation of their understanding of love, which is surely every artist’s greatest muse,” Grohl said of the series in a press statement.

Grohl has also been working on another documentary called What Drives Us, featuring interviews with Ringo Starr, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers and more. It will air on Amazon Prime at the end of the month.

Black Keys Share New Single from Upcoming Covers Album, ‘Delta Kream’

black-keys-delta-kream
Indie/alt-rock band The Black Keys has dropped a new single from the duo’s upcoming new covers album, Delta Kream, set for release on May 14.

The band, via their website, said the cover album “honors [the] music of Mississippi Hill Country Blues, R.L. Burnside & Junior Kimbrough, among others who have influenced The Black Keys.”

Returning to their gritty, basement-blues roots, the duo pays tribute to the artists that have had the biggest impact on their music. We can’t wait to hear this album.

The revealed track, and album opener, “Crawling Kingsnake,” is a cover of blues legend John Lee Hooker‘s 1948 track of the same name. To listen to the Keys’ cover, you’ll need to sign up to become a member of the Black Keys’ famous fan club, The Lonely Boys & Girls Club.

The 11-track album features songs from the Mississippi hill country blues artists who inspired guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney when they were just starting out as an indie blues-rock duo in Akron, Ohio.

Here is the John Lee Hooker original (1941) to check out before, or after, signing up to hear the new single.


The Black Keys will be performing on April 19th as part of the Triller Fight Club boxing league pay-per-view live stream. Tickets are on sale now.
