THE Arsenio Hall SHOW reintroduces one of the signature elements of the original late-night series, The Posse, with an all new hand-picked group of musicians who have collectively played with legends spanning pop, soul, funk, hip hop, rock and R&B.
The Posse will be led by Music Director Robin DiMaggio (drums), who will be joined by Alex Al (bass guitar); Rob "Fonksta" Bacon (lead guitar and vocals); Sean Holt (sax, keyboard and vocals); and
Victoria Theodore (keyboards and vocals).
"These musicians are the go-to talent in the industry and I am ecstatic to share their incredible gifts with my audience," said Host and Executive Producer
Arsenio Hall. "Music has always been and will always be center stage at THE
Arsenio Hall SHOW, and with my new Posse we're raising the bar."
THE
Arsenio Hall SHOW, a daily one-hour, nationally
Syndicated late-night talk show, debuts on September 9, 2013.
Prior to joining THE
Arsenio Hall SHOW, DiMaggio toured and recorded with music veterans including
Paul Simon,
David Bowie, Di
Anna Ross, Dr. Dre,
Luther Vandross and
Johnny Cash. Alex Al's talent on the bass guitar spans all genres of music and captured the attention of the late King of Pop
Michael Jackson, who worked with the bassist for over a decade until his untimely passing. Guitarist Rob "Fonksta" Bacon traces his musical roots to his hometown of Detroit, where he immersed himself in the rich sounds of Motown and built a talent sought after by funk and hip-hop icons like
George Clinton and D.J. Quik. Saxophonist Sean Holt has performed with artists including
John Legend,
Mary J. Blige and
Bruno Mars and is a faculty member at the famed USC Thorton School of Music. Theodore is a classically trained pianist and vocalist who honed her multi-genre keyboard skills touring the world with the legendary singer-songwriter,
