The series is hosted by TV and radio personality Eddie Trunk. It kicks off May 31 with the Green Day documentary Heart Like a Hand Grenade. Other premieres include iconic guitarist Dave Navarro in Mourning Son and Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everyone Talkin’ About Him?).

“This destination night was specially crafted by music lovers for music lovers, with nine documentaries that grant a rare look at some of the most influential names in the industry,” said Jeff Cuban, COO of AXS TV. “Viewers will surely be enthralled by the openness of each of the artists as they welcome you into their lives, careers and the creative process that got them to where they are. We’re excited to have Eddie Trunk on board, whose encyclopedic knowledge of all things music makes him the perfect host for this new venture.”

“As a huge fan of all music documentaries I couldn’t be more thrilled to be hosting this great new series for AXS TV,” said Trunk. “I had a blast learning the stories of the eclectic group of artists featured in Reel to Real and to have had the chance to add insights, observations and comments, and in a few cases from the some of the artists themselves, was an incredible experience.”
