To Mum with Love with Josh Groban on Mother’s Day
Sunday May 8 from 10am on Foxtel Smooth

Josh Groban is one of the world’s most loved singers and he’s joining the Foxtel Smooth line-up presenting To Mum with Love, a special music playlist for mum while she puts her feet up this Mother’s Day.

In a made for Foxtel Smooth special, Groban will introduce his favourite Mother’s Day tunes featuring Foxtel Smooth classics including Tina Arena, Michael Buble, Seal, Fleetwood Mac, and Whitney Houston, joining new stars like Adele and John Legend, plus a few Josh Groban hits too.

An internationally renowned singer, songwriter and actor, Groban’s unique baritone voice is instantly recognisable. He has entertained fans across the globe with his multiplatinum albums, captivating live performances, and comedic film and television appearances. Groban is the only artist who has had two albums land on Billboard’s list of 20 best-sellers in the last 10 years.

In addition to his current Australian tour, Josh Groban will release Stages Live, the live counterpart to his 2015 album Stages – a collection of the greatest songs from legendary musical theatre – which peaked at #2 on the ARIA charts and is now certified gold in Australia.

The 34-year-old Los Angeles native first broke into the music scene in 2001 with his self-titled double-platinum debut. In 2007 Groban 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. All That Echoes followed in 2013 debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. His global arena tours routinely sell out, including his 2013 All That Echoes tour, which included 60 shows in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and North America.

Foxtel Smooth is your easy place to relax with songs from the artists you know and love. With a relaxing blend of laidback music, Foxtel Smooth is the perfect escape when life gets a little busy. To Mum with Love with Josh Groban premieres Sunday May 8 from 10am only on Foxtel Smooth.
