    'Live from the Artists Den' Director of Programming Alan Light Talks About Kid Rock!

    'Inside Thirteen' recently caught up with 'Live from the Artists Den' Executive Producer Mark Lieberman and Director of Programming Alan Light. They discussed about the upcoming fourth season and what makes the show unique.

    Here is an excerpt from the Q&A interview where Alan Light gives his thoughts on Kid Rock when asked what he is most excited about on the fourth season of 'Live from the Artists Den.'

    And certainly shooting Kid Rock – no one has ever done a shoot inside of Graceland, with a performance inside Elvis’s home, and it took a lot of disparate pieces aligning to enable us to do that. For Kid Rock, he approached it as a highlight of his career and a real landmark appearance for him. So, the fact that we could enable something like that and take a multi-platinum artist and get them access to something that they couldn’t otherwise do, I think that’s always what’s most exciting for us. They have a lot of choices about the things that they could do – the shows that they could play, the stages they could appear on; we have the ability to do something that they can’t do, which is to get them into these really unique spaces and otherwise inaccessible spaces. So when we can do that on that kind of scale, that’s a new level of accomplishment for us.

    Kid Rock's performance on the fourth season of 'Live From The Artists Den' airs February 24 on public television. The special taping took place at Elvis Presleys 'Automobile Museum' in Graceland on November 28, a location never before filmed for television.

    The new season also features Adele, The Fray, Death Cab for Cutie, Iron and Wine and Amos Lee with special guests Calexico. For more info, visit ArtistsDen.com.

Sittin here Friday night with my wife jammin the Kid Rock cd with Rock and Roll Pain Train. Excellent cd. Been a long fuckin week at work and thank God its Friday. Drinkin smokin trying to free my mind. We are blessed to live to see an artist like Kid Rock. This dude writes all of his songs and performs his ass off in concertt. Never will you witness this again, he is an original for our generation. When I hit the lottery I will pay him for a personal concert, no matter what the cost. Have seen him live for every cd release since Cocky. Anyway thanks dude for helping my wife and I get through here in Vermilion Ohio. Nice place on the lake for sale down the road dude.Thanks again man, keep rocking bro.

To be able to watch this show from Graceland with my mother at this point in time is an undescribeable feeling. It will be very sentimental for me and a memory that will last me a lifetime. I better not miss this one! This really hits home for me on such a personal level as Elvis did most of my entire life thus far. Thanks Kid! If my momma didn't like you 12 yrs. ago, she's gonna love you now for sure...and that makes me smile. If she's happy, I'm happy. Keep us posted PLEASE!
