The concept of AT HOME WITH FRIENDS was inspired by Bells long-time practice of holding musical soirées at his New York residence eclectic gatherings of musicians, actors, comics, literary figures and others who convene for the sheer joy of sharing their art in an informal setting. With this in mind, Bell has spent the past four years designing and building his home in Manhattan to accommodate the ideal stay-at-home venue. AT HOME WITH FRIENDS covers a world of music genres from classical to pop, bluegrass to Broadway, Jazz and World Music of every stripe and features some of the best selling artists today. AT HOME WITH FRIENDS also celebrates the holidays with Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" presented by Bell and Chris Botti with full rhythm section.
