ExpressJet Flies the Band From TV International

PARADISE ISLAND, Nassau, The Bahamas, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Band From TV, the star-studded cover band created by Greg Grunberg (NBC's Heroes), showcases some of television's biggest names playing music for charity including James Denton (ABC's Desperate Housewives), Jesse Spencer (Fox's House), Adrian Pasdar (NBC's Heroes) and Bob Guiney (TLC's Date My House). Band From TV recently played their first ever international show on August 8, 2009 at the world famous Atlantis Resort and Casino in Paradise Island, Bahamas and were transported from their home base of Hollywood, CA to Paradise Island by ExpressJet - a leader in group travel and customizable travel experiences.

Not just your average celebrity band, Band From TV donates all proceeds from their performances to several incredibly worthwhile charities including the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, TalkAboutIt.org, Save the Children, and The Art of Elysium. Every penny that Band From TV earns goes directly to charity! Other celebrities that have joined Band From TV on stage include Hugh Laurie (Fox's House), Teri Hatcher (ABC's Desperate Housewives), Hayden Panettiere (NBC's Heroes), Jorge Garcia (ABC's Lost), Zach Levi (NBC's Chuck), Gary Cole (HBO's Entourage), Haylie Duff (WB's 7th Heaven), Maria Menounous (NBC's Access Hollywood), James Kyson Lee (NBC's Heroes) and more.

In August 2008, ExpressJet partnered with Band From TV to become their official charter operator. Over the last year ExpressJet has flown the band to various concerts across the country, allowing the Band From TV to expand their national presence and continue to raise awareness and funds for the charities benefitted by the Band From TV Global Charity Trust. "Our experience with ExpressJet over the last year has been perfect in every way," states founder Greg Grunberg. "ExpressJet's customer service and reliability is unparalleled, and when we fly with them we know all of the details are covered. As a matter of fact we wouldn't charter with any other operator. It's nice to know that we can sit back and focus on the important things like the charities and the music for the gigs instead of travel logistics. With ExpressJet's 41-seat and 50-seat jet configurations, we can bring more equipment and people on-board and the fact that ExpressJet can fly to anywhere in the Americas is a big plus as we continue to expand."

ExpressJet is an entirely new way to charter for bands, production crews and the like, providing an unparalleled experience for groups of up to 50. With over 20 plus years of experience and a dedicated young fleet, ExpressJet offers a flexible and reliable way for clients to reach their destination.
