Breaking Band is a music show that premiered on AXS TV in 2015. The premise of the show was to bring together well-known artists with up-and-coming musicians to create a unique collaborative performance. Throughout each episode of the show, these artists worked together to create a new sound, with viewers getting an inside look at the creative process.

The show was hosted by Donovan Leitch Jr., a musician and actor known for his work with the band Camp Freddy. Leitch served as a mentor to the up-and-coming musicians on the show, offering his guidance and expertise as they worked with their celebrity counterparts.

Joining Leitch on the show was guitarist Dave Navarro, best known for his work with bands like Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In addition to mentoring the musicians, Navarro also served as one of the judges for the performances.

Rounding out the trio of hosts was social media star turned musician Andie Case. Case had gained a following on YouTube for her covers of popular songs, and Breaking Band gave her the chance to work alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry.

Each episode of the show followed a similar format. The up-and-coming musician would present their original song to the celebrity mentor, who would offer feedback and suggestions for improvement. From there, the two would work together to rearrange the song and create a new sound.

The show featured a diverse range of musical genres, with everything from pop and rock to country and hip-hop being represented. The musicians were also varied in their backgrounds, with some having years of experience in the music industry while others were just starting out.

After the song had been reworked, the musician and celebrity mentor would perform the new version in front of a live audience. Navarro and a rotating panel of judges would then offer their critiques of the performance, with one winning artist being chosen at the end of each episode.

In addition to the musical performances, the show also offered some insight into the personal lives of the artists. Viewers got to see the struggles and challenges faced by these musicians as they navigated the ups and downs of the music industry.

Overall, Breaking Band was an engaging and unique music show that offered viewers a look at the creative process behind making music. With a talented trio of hosts and a diverse range of musical styles, the show had something for everyone.

Breaking Band is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between January 24, 2016 and on AXS TV
