LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER, Hosted by Audra McDonald, Will Feature Josh Groban on 4/12

Live From Lincoln Center features a special concert with internationally renowned, multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban, performing songs from his most recent album release All That Echoes (Reprise) as well as other popular favorites.

The broadcast, "Josh Groban: All That Echoes," is hosted by Audra McDonald and will air on PBS stations on Friday, April 12, 2013 at 9 p.m. ET (check local listings).

Possessing one of the most outstanding and instantly recognizable voices in music, singer, songwriter and actor Josh Groban is a triple-threat who has entertained fans across the globe with his multi-platinum albums and DVDs (over 25 million sold worldwide), electrifying live performances, and comedic film and television appearances.

All That Echoes was recently named the number one album on the Nielsen SoundScan charts, selling 145,000 copies in its first week. The Los Angeles native first broke through in 2001 with his self-titled double-platinum debut album, followed by 2003's multi-platinum Closer, featuring the SMASH hit "You Raise Me Up", and 2006's double-platinum Awake. In 2007, the Grammy-nominated star became the best-selling recording artist of the year thanks to sales of Awake and his blockbuster Grammy-nominated Christmas album, Noel - the best-selling album of 2007. Groban ranks as Billboard's 14th top-selling artist of the 2000s with more than 20 million units sold in the U.S. alone. He is the only artist to have two albums appear on the Top 20 best-selling albums list of the past decade. In November 2010, Groban released Illuminations, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard's Top 200 chart (Groban's fourth consecutive Top 5 chart bow) and reached platinum status just two months later. In the year following Illuminations' release, Groban completed an 87-city "Straight To You" World Tour, appeared in the feature film Crazy, Stupid, Love and on NBC's The Office.
