U2, Patti Smith, 50 Cent, John Legend and Josh Groban are contributing to the soundtrack of this year's Sundance Film Festival, according to The Associated Press reports.
Yes, Josh Groban — he of fresh face, lyrical baritone, and last year's best-selling album, the holiday-themed "Noel."
Sundance, the annual orgy of independent cinema, which runs through Jan. 27, usually attracts alt-rock and acoustic up-and-comers, and edgier pop stars. You'd be hard-pressed to find a name familiar to Middle American moms. 
But they sure know Groban, 26, the best-selling artist of 2007, who is set to perform both an intimate acoustic show and a big-ticket charity fundraiser here later this week.
The Associated Press caught up with the singer last weekend in Los Angeles, after he taped a guest appearance on the CBS special "Celine Dion: That's Just the Woman in Me," which is scheduled to air Feb. 15. |
